Pastoral Care Teams

These teams are the heart and soul of the Pastoral Care Commission. There are 5 teams consisting of 10-15 persons with a captain. Each team is responsible for 7 days of care to parishioners in need. During your week, the team will be responsible for seeing that care is given to parishioners who have been released from the hospital or who are at home recovering from illness or providing support for families in times of sorrow or crisis. If there is a funeral during your team’s week, visitation at the church will be provided for the family. If you know someone who might need care from our Pastoral Care teams, please email Kathy Stephens, or call the church office at 601-982-4880.
