Our homebound, shut ins and isolated church members, including those who live alone or find it difficult to leave their homes, are always in our thoughts and prayers. Often overlooked, these special individuals and parishioners are unable to attend regular church services. They may be experiencing illness and are shut in, or residing in their own homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. These people miss the communal experience and spiritual connection that come with being an integral part of the church family. Our parish reaching out to these individuals is an important ministry to our parish family.
Perhaps you may know of a friend, neighbor or family member–or you, yourself–who would love a friendly visitor from time to time or who would truly appreciate having Holy Communion brought to their home as they are unable to get out. Please be sure to let us know about these individuals so that we can reach out to them or to their families. Please let Fr Alan know or feel free to call or email Dorrie at 715-352-3011 opt 4 or EM: officeassistant@stjohnedgar.org
May God bless all members of our parish family–but most especially our homebound and their caregivers.
