• How do I request a hospital or general health-related clergy visit for myself or a family member?
Our clergy are glad to call on parishioners, providing prayer and support for all situations. Most common are hospital visits related to sickness, surgery, childbirth and terminal illnesses. Clergy also visit the homebound or parishioners who are in crisis.
In an emergency situation, such as a hospitalization or death, the most direct way to reach clergy is to call the church office (253.1277) and when prompted, press 1 for the priest on-call. If it is not an emergency, you are invited to contact any priest and schedule and appotment (at the church or off-site). :: staff contact info ::
