Compassionate caring individuals listen and support parishioners during stressful events in their lives: the fear following the diagnosis of a serious illness, the anger and rejection which are part of divorce, the pain and darkness of grief, the challenge of care giving, the loneliness of the elderly or homebound. Time commitment: Application, formation and on-going training is required. Initial training: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. one Saturday per month for 4 months. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month, plus visitation with the person you are befriending. |
