Pastoral Care Ministries

The mission of the Justice and Charity ministry is to help provide for the needs of the poor and homeless in our community and to promote parish participation in the ministry’s activities. Some of the organizations we support are The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia, Gloucester United Emergency Shelter Team (G.U.E.S.T.), and Bread for Life Food Pantry.

Visit and take Eucharist to parishioners who are homebound.  This is an ongoing commitment.  You will be paired with a homebound parishioner and will make arrangements with them concerning the frequency of visits.

Visit and take Eucharist to parishioners who are hospitalized.  This is an ongoing commitment.  You may be called upon to make a visit approximately once every two weeks.

Volunteers who have mediation training provide assistance upon request by the Pastor.

This group works to “re-member” our parish by reaching out to Catholics who, for various reasons, are away from or inactive in the Church. The committee seeks to enrich these members’ understanding of the Gospel message, the Good News of Salvation, thereby encouraging them to return to the Church.
