Hospitalization can be a lonely, difficult experience for people. We seek to be companions to our community members during hospitalizations and extend a caring hand to let you know you are not beyond the embrace of the parish. Upon notification that a parishioner is hospitalized, a Minister of Care will visit, bring Communion if requested, and provide spiritual and emotional support as needed.
Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to know if you are at the hospital unless you inform us. If you would like a visit, Communion, spiritual or emotional support, contact Steve Regniert at the parish office.
Lumen Christi realizes there are many types of suffering and is committed to providing support, care, and opportunities for spiritual connection for people struggling with mental health conditions, addiction, and those who serve them. Watch for events, educational opportunities, prayer services, speaker series, and suicide and overdose prevention workshops in the parish. Lumen Christi Catholic Community also offers support in partnership with Mental Health Connect, click the Mental Health icon below for more information.
Ministers of Communion are available to share prayer and Communion with those who are no longer able to get out and join us for Mass. Word and Communion Services are offered at care centers in our parish boundaries once a month. Some care centers are able to offer Mass once a month.
Call in or email your prayer requests daily and members of our Lumen Christi prayer line will hold you and your intentions in prayer for healing, hope, and community support.
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry gathers together to knit or crochet concrete symbols of love and prayer. Our mission is to provide tangible reminders of hope, comfort and healing to those who most need a concrete example of God’s unconditionally loving embrace. Shawls and lap blankets are available for you, or to give to those hospitalized, in care centers, or at home; those journeying through a physical or emotional challenge, a loss, or simply need a tangible reminder that there are people who care and a God that loves them.
