Parish Nurse
Our Parish Nurse focuses on the body, mind and spirit of individuals as
it relates to achieving wellness and managing illness. Visitation of church members, confidential counseling, serving as a liaison
with health care providers, and providing educational programs are some of the duties of the Parish Nurse.
Wonderful Wednesdays

a covered-dish dinner and an entertainment program.
