Care and Help
Pastoral Care is an integral part of life at St. Wilfrid's, from
Eucharistic Ministers who take Communion to the sick and home-bound on
Sundays, to regular visitors to those hospitalized or in need. In
addition to hospital and home visits, all members of the clergy are
available to provide pre-marital counseling, spiritual counseling, and
spiritual direction.
Great Pastoral Care in a congregation emerges out of a close
partnership between clergy, staff, and all of the members of the
parish. Our goal is to provide pastoral care to the whole
person. To do that, we need the whole community, bringing to
all the wealth of healing and joy which the Lord offers us as God uses
us as instruments of the Divine Love.
