Circle of Prayer

The Circle of Prayer provides an access to people who will pray for a particular person, by name, who has a sudden health problem. When an illness is chronic and or long  lasting, names should be included in the weekly Church bulletin.  Membership is open to anyone who would like to join in prayer.  It involves receiving a name or names by phone, and passing it on to the next person down the list as soon as possible. The use of a telephone answering machine is acceptable.

Ministry of Care

The Ministry of Care is a team of concerned parishioners striving to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our community. We respond through simple acts of caring and support by helping with meals, phone calls, shopping, friendly visits and by sharing a little of our time and talents. The group consists of a core group of individuals who in turn make calls to parishioners to provide aid to those in need. Volunteers are always needed especially to provide meals and visits. The Ministry of Care also provides welcoming packages for new parishioners and hosts hospitality evenings. They are a part of the Outreach Committee which meets jointly several times during the year.

Meeting days: varies at homes of committee members

Parish Nurses

Parish nurses promote the health and healing of the whole person, as part of the team in the ministry of health. They provide screening for blood pressure at parish events, make calls to the homebound and ill, and provide workshops periodically at the church. The parish nurses together with other area Parish Nurses bring the labyrinth to Our Lady of Sorrows on Holy Thursday. The Parish Nurses are part of the Outreach Commission which meets several times per year to share programs and ideas.

Sharing Sundays

Youth Groups

The Youth Group is an organization of young Catholics who gather as a community for social, service, and spiritual purposes. Frequent newsletters inform members of upcoming trips, special events, and fundraisers. Regular meetings always feature plenty of good food and traditional Catholic devotions.

A special thank you to Simone Zoldaz who helps organizes the winter flea markets.
