Touch Group The first is a visitation schedule for our homebound and nursing home parishioners. We visit at least once per month. We also deliver a poinsettia to them at Christmas and some type of home made spring time surprise near Easter. Our second thrust is to provide a Memorial Mass in early November. At that Mass we invite the families of all of the people buried through the parish in the last year. It gives them a chance to light a candle and honor them one last time. The families are also invited to a breakfast after Mass to share a little longer with family and friends. A third thrust is an annual Anointing Mass, usually held some time during the Lenten season. We invite all who want healing of the body, mind, and spirit to come to a special Mass. Each person has the healing hands and sacred oils placed on them.
We also have been fortunate to have been the recipients of help from the Copps Bags for the Hungry, the Festival Foods Food For the Hunger, the postal carriers food drive, and may also be able to participate in the scout food drive. We also refer people to Paul’s Pantry as they have more fresh items to give away. We
currently are serving nearly 70-75 families each month, as well as trying
to do "a little extra" for our families with great needs around the
holidays.
