Pastoral Care

Christians are to be 'pastoral' towards one another by caring and praying for the needs of others. You may be interested in volunteering as a member of the Prayer Team or become licensed as a Lay Eucharistic Visitor (LEV) to offer such care and prayer. Volunteers are also called upon to go and visit those in assisted living, nursing homes, their personal residence, recovery units or the hospitals. This is time well spent and a blessing to assist the clergy so that everyone feels they are loved and given Pastoral Care.

 

Lay Eucharistic Visitor (LEV) teams are scheduling visits to our parishioners. If you are a member of Calvary, this benefit provides trained pastoral care volunteers who will make visits to you at your home, a hospital or rehab, in the case you are unable to travel to church or in time of personal need. Of course, our Rector/Priest, Fr. Roberts schedules his visits when time is available or if it is an emergency.

​

Prayer Team is actively engaged and taking requests. See form below. If a visit is requested, please make known and we will respond as soon as possible.

Prayer Request Form

Your request for personal prayer is held in a sacred trust, and any detail you provide will be held confidential. This information will be shared only with Fr. Roberts, his assistant and the lead for our Prayer Team. You have the option to decline publishing the name(s) of your loved one in our weekly newsletter. We publish names because it allows the greater church to join the invitation to pray on your behalf.
