Caritas is our community outreach ministry to the elderly, infirmed, homebound and bereaved of the parish.
Our services include:
1) COMMUNION CALLS - If you are unable to attend Mass due to illness, a Eucharistic Minister will bring Communion to your home.
2) CARE MASS - Homebound parishioners are invited to our Tuesday morning mass and luncheon. Transportation is provided by our volunteers.
3) PRAYER LINE - Our members pray for your special intentions.
4) NEW BEGINNINGS - Our bereavement support group. Meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month, at 10 a.m., September though May.
5) MARTHA MINISTRY - Our volunteers attend funeral Masses when the deceased has few family members who would be in attendance.
6) VISITS - We visit 11 assisted living/nursing homes.
Caritas also serves Advent Heath North Pinellas (Florida Hospital North Pinellas/Helen Ellis Hospital) and two local nursing homes.
