Heart Springs Care & Concern

Visitation Ministry members visit our parish members who are homebound, in nursing homes, or in the hospital. Eucharistic Ministers will take the Eucharist to those who are homebound. Call Arlen Twerdok 453-6677, ext. 8  either to help or to request a visit.

Days of Caring are two days set aside when parishioners are asked to visit those who are homebound or in nursing homes to bring them cookies, cards and the prayers of the parish community. Members assist with preparations for the Advent Days of Caring and the Lenten Day of Caring. Please watch the bulletin for information regarding dates and times.
