God's Shepherds of Love and Hope
Cancer Care Ministry
The Cancer Care Ministry brings God's love to parishioners impacted by cancer. Trained ministers walk alongside our fellow parishioners throughout the cancer journey. The parishioner may be the patient, a caregiver or a family member.
The ministry offers:
Individual support through conversation, prayer, reading scripture or listening to favorite music (phone calls, text, email, home visits or meeting for Mass or a meal/coffee)
Practical support - ministers arrange support for daily activities such as housecleaning, yard work, small home repairs, rides to treatment, picking up medications
Caregiver fellowship - in person meeting offering an opportunity for caregivers to get to know other caregivers in an informal setting, to share experiences and offer spiritual support
Rosary Prayer Service - quarterly prayer service with prayer focused on those touched by cancer
All information regarding a specific individual's cancer diagnosis is kept confidential
