| Shawl Ministry | Care and love of knitting have been combined into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace -- individuals facing serious illness or recovering from surgery, home-bound parishioners, those in nursing homes, and as a comfort after a loss. Small white shawls welcome newly baptized infants into our parish family. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl. Parishioners in this ministry may participate by knitting/crocheting in their own homes and on their own schedules, as well as meeting in a group setting every 4-6 weeks to share ideas and expertise. An afternoon group meets in the church building and an evening group meets in private homes. If you would like more information about the Shawl Ministry, please call the Rectory or email shawlministry@joanarc.org |
| Ushers | Ushers have
the responsibility to greet parishioners and visitors as they enter church.
Their ministry is to assist others by handing out materials needed for
liturgical functions, finding a suitable place in church for everyone,
taking up the collection, selecting a family for the gift offering,
directing those who are receiving communion and helping in other areas where
needed. The ministry is open to anyone (male or female) over the age of 18. If you are interested in being an usher, email ushers@joanarc.org John Fitzpatrick, Coordinator of Ushers. |
| Visitors to the Sick | The focus of our ministry is to visit
parishioners and community members who are housebound or reside in local
nursing homes -- to play cards, take a walk or just chat for a while. Some
of our Visitors are Eucharistic Ministers, enabling the homebound to
receive Holy Communion. Every other month, the Visitors celebrate Mass with
residents of the Orleans Convalescent Home. We meet as a group on a
quarterly basis in the Parish Hall for educational programs and fellowship.
For info or to request a visitor, call Shirley & Bill Averill, 508-240-2092 or email visitors@joanarc.org . Also see reference on St. Vincent dePaul page. |
