Mental Health Ministry
MISSION STATEMENT

Our ministry provides an accompanying presence through resource referrals, spiritual companionship, and prayer. We do not diagnose. We seek to make it easier for our parishioners and their loved ones to seek treatment and support by providing information about community services available to individuals and loved ones who care for them.
We listen with compassion.
We pray with courage.
We guide to connect with professional services.
We walk in faith with our brothers and sisters on the road to a better tomorrow.
