As a parish church, we are committed to
each other through relationships of care
and support.

Sometimes members of the community need a little extra support. When that happens, St. Lawrence Parish is there for them. Clergy and parish volunteers work to ensure that requests for pastoral care are attended to with compassion and confidentiality. The parish offers pastoral care in the following ways:

  • Hospital visits

  • Ministry at death and care for bereaved

  • Support in time of transition or crisis

  • Visitation of isolated parishioners

  • Managing requests for community prayers

  • Worship services in local retirement and nursing homes

  • Coordinating transportation under some circumstances

Requests for pastoral care can be made by contacting one of the church offices or by contacting a member of the clergy directly. See Contact Us or clergy.

Pastoral Care Teams

As of Autumn 2023, the clergy and laity of the Area Parish of the Saint Lawrence are developing a Area Parish-wide Pastoral Care Team. Each congregation will have their own specialized and trained pastoral care volunteers, but they will come together regularly for support and training, with the added benefit of a more streamlined administrative approach.
