Pastoral Care
A Pastoral Presence for Life’s Hardest Moments
Life brings joy, uncertainty, loss, and change.
Whatever you’re facing, our clergy and caring community is here when you need it most.
There When You Need Us
Our priests make time to listen, offer pastoral care, and pray with you through life’s challenges. And you don’t have to carry those challenges alone. Whether you’re celebrating a new beginning, navigating a difficult season, grieving a loss, or simply looking for a place to belong, our caring clergy are here for you. In times of joy or sorrow, there is a community ready to pray, listen, and walk alongside you.
Please call the Pastoral Care Team at Saint John’s:
- When someone is ill or hospitalized
- When someone is experiencing distress and needs pastoral care
- When someone wants to discuss spiritual or theological matters
- When someone has reason to celebrate
- When someone wishes to talk in order to gain spiritual comfort
For Emergencies
Any parishioner may call at any time during the day or night, seven days a week, in the event of a pastoral crisis such as a death in the family, serious illness, an accident, or any other pastoral emergency, call 888-270-5538. A priest can be called whenever someone is near death in order to administer Last Rites and pray with the family.
Non-Emergency Pastoral Care
Parishioners may call or email clergy directly in order to set up an appointment for a non-crisis visitation.
