The Parish Nurse Program is a health care ministry of
the church which encourages an individual's physical,
emotional, spiritual and social well-being, in the
context of their relationship to God, family and
neighbor.
The program is rooted in the mission of the healing
ministry of Christ and reclaims the Scripture: To go out
and preach the kingdom of God and to heal, recognize
God's desire that we achieve abundant life, and reaffirm
and support the journey toward wholeness.
Through the Parish Nurse Program, the parish seeks to
develop creative ways of addressing needs and
identifying resources to nurture health, wellness and
healing. This health care ministry strengthens the
parish and enables the parishioners to focus on serving
God by serving others.
The Parish Nurse acts as Health Counselor, Health
Educator, Coordinator of Volunteers, assists in
identifying and assessing community health resources,
and promotes understanding of the relationship of body,
mind and spirit
