Homebound Visitation - Margaret Goforth visits our homebound parishioners who can not regularly attend Mass. If you are homebound, or know of someone who is homebound, contact Margaret Goforth who will schedule a visit. In addition to bringing Holy Communion, she may also bring small offerings from our parishioners (cards, cookies, a casserole, seasonal decoration, etc).

Our homebound parishioners have usually been active in the parish assisting with cleaning, cooking for special events, ushering, offering financial support - - and are now assisting us through their prayer and suffering. We ask that you pray for them, and bring any small gifts you would like to donate to the parish office.
