Parish Ministry

Homebound Ministry:

Every church has them: once-active church members who now have limitations that
have reduced their involvement in church. They are known as the homebound or shut-
ins, both of which are inadequate terms because they address people’s limitations
rather than their gifts. These individuals have firm foundations of faith and may feel
isolated and suddenly alone. Everyone needs a smile in your day, and our goal is to help
provide lasting smiles.

Holy Family Parish’s Homebound Ministry program reaches out to these individuals
offering fellowship in faith and Holy Communion. If you or your loved one would
appreciate a visit or even a phone call, please reach out to Dorrie Martyn in our
Homebound Ministry Program at 715-352-3011 (at the St John’s Parish Office) or by
email: officeassistant@stjohnedgar.org.
