Volunteer Opportunity: Share Your Time and Compassion!
Our Parish Partners Ministry of Hope is seeking kind-hearted volunteers to support our homebound parishioners. Many of them are unable to attend Sunday Mass or receive Holy Communion in person. But you can help by offering your time to either:
• Visit homebound parishioners to bring them the Holy Eucharist
• Provide rides to Saturday or Sunday Mass for those who need transportation
If you have a few hours to spare each month and would love to serve others in this rewarding ministry of outreach, we would be deeply grateful. Whether you’re able to drive someone to church or visit them at home, your generosity will be a true blessing.
To sign up or learn more, please contact Jeannermarie Baker at (203) 637-3661 (ext. 375) or by
What We Do
Currently, with 18 volunteer members, Parish Partners Ministry of Hope offers:
COMMUNION
We assist our deacons and Priests in bringing the Eucharist, reconnecting with those in our parish family who cannot be present at Mass.
ACCOMPANIMENT
We sit, listen and pray with those who are homebound, and anyone who needs a companion.
PRAYER REQUESTS
We welcome prayer requests from parishioners, their families and friends. Together our ministers will pray for your needs.
BEREAVEMENT
We contact the families of parishioners who have died, offering our prayers and support. We facilitate the New Day Bereavement Group twice a year.
EDUCATION
We conduct symposia on topics that relate to health, well-being and our Catholic faith.
SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR PARISH PARTNERS MINISTERS
We offer instruction in ministry work, and regular one-on-one follow ups. We receive guidance from our Chaplain, Fr. Christopher Perrella.
