Pastoral Visitation Ministry

Although there has been pastoral visitation ministry in the parish in the past, this group has been re-energized as of the fall of 2007. Members of our parish community are either in nursing home (Harbour View Haven) or otherwise unable to be active in in parish life. Bringing the presence of the church community to these people who are no longer able to come to church also allows them to remain connected to parish life.

This ministry is fortunate to have members who visit residents of Harbour View Haven on a regular basis. Additionally in pairs, members of this ministry visit over 20 home bound parishioners. Members also meet regularly to review any concerns or needs which those visited may have and to communicate them to the rector and the parish..
