We strive to be aware of the
health needs of our congregation, to provide information, and support our
parish members. It is our
goal to assist parishioners, individually and collectively, in obtaining a
higher state of wellness – whether in body, mind, or spirit.
In 2007 the Healthcare Ministries
Committee asked parishioners to complete a questionnaire in order to
ascertain the needs and concerns of parishioners regarding healthcare.
We sponsored programs during the Lenten Dinners on areas of health
care concerns.
We began what we hope will be an
annual tradition by sponsoring a Red Cross blood drive at St. Thomas on
December 1, 2007. This blood
drive was well attended.
A “health fair” at St. Thomas
is being planned for 2008
