"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters,

There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord;

and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.

All are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses."             

1 Corinthians 12:1, 4-6, 11

 

We all have been given gifts of the Spirit! Please take a look at our Ministries, Events, Committees and Continual Outreach, and see where your Spirit is calling you to serve!

Good Morning and Happy New Year!

I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Grace Healthcare Services.  We are trying to recruit volunteers to help in serving the community.  Hospice is a service which helps those who are coming to the end of their life and supports both the patient and the family through any end stage illness.  Volunteers are an invaluable piece of this service and sometimes the most important part.  Training is required but it gives the volunteers a strong understanding of our mission and purpose.  My schedule is flexible and I work to meet the needs of our volunteers so I can travel to them for training. 

 

I would be happy to discuss with you, staff, organizations or parishioners interested in participating as a volunteer.  I am hoping that you may put a notice in your Sunday bulletin requesting volunteers.  Many of the parishes, including my own, St. Katharine Drexel, have used this verbiage:

 

 

Our company also looks for volunteer groups to participate in projects such as memory books, crafts for the patients, as well as knitting groups that may be interested in donating lap blankets or prayer shawls.  

I understand that you have a Knit WITS club with whom I would love to speak to. 

In addition, I would be happy to speak to your parishioners at the end of mass for a few minutes to explain what hospice is and the rewarding work that your parish can be a part of.

 

Thank you so much for your time.

 

 Take care,

Kate
