If you or someone you know would like to join the Minister of Care ministry, the upcoming training begins Thursday, April 12 at Presence St. Benedict in Niles (Touhy and Milwaukee Avenues). The five-week training occurs over five, consecutive Thursday evenings, 7:00-9:00pm and is taught by retired priests who live at Presence St. Benedict.
If you would like to attend the classes, please contact Rick Nash to request registration forms.
The classes are great, and there is no obligation to continue if you decide the Ministry of Care is not for you. Also, there is no cost, as the parish pays the fee for the classes. The Ministry of Care is very flexible. You can choose to volunteer perhaps one morning (1-2 hours) per month at one of our nursing homes, or to visit one or more homebound parishioners each week. It's totally up to our Ministers of Care where and how often they visit the sick or homebound.
