Annointing of the Sick & Hospital Visits
If you are in the hospital, you may have filled out those privacy forms at the doctor’s office. New laws restrict the amount of information that can be given about a patient. If you or a loved one have been admitted to the hospital that may mean a Catholic priest or lay minister of communion may not be aware that you are Catholic and would like a visit.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is showing love and bringing joy, being a good listener, and praying with one another. It is an expression of the care our parishes have for their members who, for whatever reason, can’t be active.
Volunteers will visit, listen, love, pray, and enjoy Catholic fellowship. For more info or to join us, contact Beatrice Jacobsen, Pastoral Care Coordinator at St. Lawrence O’Toole & Sacred Heart slotbea@gmail.com
