Pastoral Care
If you or someone you know is sick, homebound, elderly, or scheduled for surgery, please contact the church office to notify us so Fr. John can make a pastoral visit or add them to the prayer list.
In Our Prayers: “Pray for one another that you might be healed.” (James 5:16). Prayer for healing: Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, who has sent our Lord to heal every sickness. Visit and heal us. Grant patience in this sickness, strength in body and spirit, and recovery in health. Lord, You have taught us to pray for each other that we may be healed. We pray that You heal, guide, and protect Your servants: Those experiencing homelessness and hunger, Magda, Pavle, Mihaila, Alexander, Marihiam, Julio, Amarilis, Pavlos, Vasiliki, George, Julianna, Irene, Scott (include your own names here), and grant them the gift of complete health. You are the source of healing, and to You we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen
