St. Raphael the Archangel Pastoral Care & Grief Ministries
Pastoral Care:
St. Raphael the Archangel Pastoral Care Ministry serves the elderly and sick members of our parish community with dignity and respect, offering compassionate care and encouraging a sense of belonging and connection to the Body of Christ through the Eucharist and the people of God. It serves as a bridge to homebound parishioners to ensure they remain an integral part of our parish family and provides them with the ability to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick, on a regular basis.
- Do you know of a parishioner who is unable to receive regular sacraments due to an inability to physically attend mass (on a permanent or temporary basis)?
- Are you interested in becoming a member of this Ministry and learning more about how you can assist?
Please respond by calling the parish office or by calling or emailing Mary Faith Green; 314-832-3310; [email protected].
Grief Ministry:
The Grief Ministry of St Raphael the Archangel Parish recognizes Jesus as the truest source of healing & comfort in every situation in life. In sending out 4 compassionately written booklets on the stages of mourning, across the 1st year after the death of a loved one, we hope to comfort those experiencing this loss, while reminding them of the support of our parish community, and encouraging them to seek Jesus as the remedy of the pain they feel. At the source of this ministry is the desire for an increase in faith & peace for every soul, even in the midst of mourning. If you have any questions, you may contact the parish office at 314-352-8100.
