Visiting People in Need - A Pastoral Care Guide

When parishioners can no longer come to Mass because of health issues, a hospital stay or a move to a seniors’ residence or long-term care, the Minister of Care steps in. Bringing the Eucharist, the prayers of the parish and a friendly presence, the Minister of Care helps people who can’t be there in person to stay connected with their Catholic community.

This faith-filled, practical booklet is for parish volunteers who are responsible for serving the spiritual needs of adults. Through helpful tips and true-to-life stories, these ministers will grow in confidence and skills as they share God’s love with those who cannot physically join in the community’s sacramental life.
