St. Augustine’s Compassionate Care Ministry
Bringing the healing power of Jesus to those who need it most
Compassionate Care Ministry Overview
The Compassionate Care Ministry at St. Augustine’s Parish has been formed to meet the great need within our parish for this ministry. Many of our fellow parishioners find themselves lonely, immobile, ill, grief stricken, frail or suffering.
Just as Jesus did, we hope to bring compassionate care in the form of companionship for those who require support.
We will serve participants in the program in a variety of ways including: telephone ministry, visits to participants homes and other interactions that focus on care.
During this Covid-19 pandemic, we’ll focus on our telephone ministry.
Interested in volunteering?
Our ministry will require volunteers who are interested in bringing companionship to program participants. Our volunteers will provide support in a compassionate manner – modelling their interactions after Jesus.
