The mission of our ministry is to promote parish health and wellness. We meet the second Monday of every month from 7pm to 8:30pm in the Worship Center’s conference room.
The current chairperson is Joan Tedeschi.
Members have an interest in promoting the holistic health of the congregation and are not necessarily in a health-related profession. If you are interested in becoming involved with this group, please contact Joan Tedeschi.
The Parish Nurse is a member of the Health and Wellness ministry. The ministry supports the Parish Nurse and like-wise she supports activities of this ministry (blood pressure screening, writing articles for the Tidings, giving flu shots, arranging AED classes and speakers, etc.). The Parish Nurse, also visits hospitals, nursing homes and home-bound parishioners and assesses their well-being, making recommendations as needed. She prays, anoints with Holy oil and offers Communion as desired. She phones parishioners who are ill, and attends Helping Hands events.
