life throws at us and may be contacted .

Pastoral Care Team
A Pastoral Care team assists our clergy
to meet the needs of our community by providing spiritual and emotional
support, encouragement, friendship and a listening ear.
This also includes home and hospital
visiting, assistance with various activities, meals, transport, and of course
prayer.

Prayer Chain
The
Prayer Chain serves the parish and wider community in times of need. Many people have voiced their gratitude for the
strength and support they have received.
Confidentiality
and prompt response are assured. The prayer requests are not discussed, usually
only first names are used in the message and we endeavour to pass the request
right along the Chain within a few hours, in which time the situation is
surrounded by praying people.
All
the ‘links’ of the Prayer Chain meet together twice a year for coffee and to
discuss and/or sort out any problems.
A
list of these praying people is in each church and in the parish hall and all
are willing to be contacted at any time.
For
any further information, or if you feel you would like to participate, please contact
Margaret Grummet via the Parish Office Phone 5985 1399
