Among the Church’s ministries, the care of the sick, the aging and the frail has been essential. The Ministry of Care program is an outreach to those unable to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist because of illness and age. The ministry allows people to experience the nearness of God through the presence of their faith community and through the reception of the Eucharist.
Parishioners share in this ministry, bringing the Eucharist to our homebound parishioners and to patients at Swedish Covenant Hospital. The next Ministry of Care Training Program in our area will take place at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish on three consecutive Saturday mornings beginning April 9 from 8:45 a.m. to Noon.
For more information about the program, please contact Fran Parks, Queen of Angels Coordinator, at 773-478-7254.
