Parish Life

Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care involves bringing the presence of Christ to those among us who are sick or suffering in order to bear witness and to bring healing that puts them in touch with Divine Presence in their lives. As we go through life, we experience days of plenty and days of loss. Our faith teaches us that we are not alone. As Christians, we are one body in Christ. During times of adversity and suffering, we help one another to heal, to move on, and to transform into who God is asking us to become. Please notify the Rector at home: 814.432.5166 or the parish office: 814.432.5161, if you, a family member or friend is hospitalized or needs homebound or institutional pastoral care.
