Pastoral Care

Spiritual Guidance and Counseling


And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ …

~ Ephesians 4:11


Contact Father Michael if you are in need of spiritual guidance, counseling, or a referral for outside help.


Meal Trains


He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. Everyone ate until they were full, and the disciples filled twelve baskets with the leftovers.

~ Luke 9:16-17


Using the “Meal Train” website (https://www.mealtrain.com/) church members organize and participate in meal preparation and delivery to those who have had a baby, illness, surgery, or a recent loss.


Prayer Team


Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

~Jeremiah 29:12


Prayer is the foundation of our relationship with God. It is how we communicate with Him and strengthen our reliance upon Him.  Our prayer team will pray with you and for you.  In addition to using various prayers during mass, we also guide and encourage church members to make prayer a part of their everyday lives outside of church.
