The key to pastoral care at St.
Paul’s is a team made up of both clergy and
lay members. The Rector and members of the Pastoral
Care Team work together to see that visits are made,
flowers are given, prayers are said. Please
let the church know when there is a hospitalization
or any other pastoral need.
Lay
EucharisticVisitors assist
the clergy in taking communion to parishioners
who are unable to attend services at church. Invited
by the Rector, LEVs receive special training from
the rector in addition to attending a one-day diocesan
workshop. After licensing they are scheduled to
visit the sick and infirm of the Parish on a regular
basis, usually on Sundays. They carry traveling
communion kits and conduct a brief service with
scripture readings and prayers before the Eucharist.
Their ministry is a reminder that sharing the eucharist
is the responsibility of the whole church.
