Visitation
of the Sick
The
parish has trained volunteers who visit hospitalized parish members and nursing
home residents regularly. If the visitor is unable to see the patient, a small
card of identification with a note about parish prayers and the visitor's name
is left at the door. If you are in the
hospital for a lengthy time and we do not visit, please call the parish center. If someone is hospitalized out of town,
please call the parish center. If
