Family Caregiver Support Ministry

St. Patrick’s Parish supports family caregivers through its Family Caregiver Support Ministry. We recognize that caregiving can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually stressful.  To help family caregivers manage their caregiving journeys, support is offered at several levels including:
  

• Hybrid caregiver support group meetings the second Friday of each month at 1 pm (both in person and through Zoom)

 

• Caregiver fairs through which caregivers can learn about resources and services offered to caregivers and care recipients from locally based organizations

 

• Caregiver luncheons to bring caregivers together for socialization and to provide spiritual/emotional support

 

• Prayer support offered through the Prayer Shawl Ministry whose members pray for parishioners, including caregivers and their care recipients, while knitting/crocheting
