A new webpage with resources from the Archdiocesan Ministry of Care and Companionship Committee to support the care of the sick and suffering in our parishes and regions is now available. You will find this page on the Archdiocesan website here: www.halifaxyarmouth.org/care
Of particular note is a video series and discussion guide to introduce a new vision of parish responses to our local need (see right side of webpage for videos and guide). It can be used for discussion and promotion of the ministry for all types of groups and at times convenient for local circumstances.
With the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, all disciples of Christ are empowered with gifts for the service of others and the common good. The Archdiocesan Ministry of Care and Companionship Committee is a particular manifestation of the varieties of service needed today in the care of the sick, elderly, dying and bereaved and their caregivers.
Take some time to check out our new webpage that offers a wide range of resources that can help us all answer the call to accompany those who are ill or suffering.
