Parish Nurse Ministry
Frances Osborne, R.N. is our Parish Nurse. The program is designed to
promote good health practices among parishioners and to assist in helping
anyone with health difficulties. It is not here to replace any
existing health care, but to compliment the health care you receive.
The work of the Parish Nurse includes helping parishioners access the
Sacraments and the prayers of other members of the congregation.
Our Frances is available after services on the first Sunday of each month
and every Thursday, from 10 AM till noon.
|
|
The
Program helps prisoners to remain as active within the parish as their individual health
allows, so that they may receive love and support from all members; helping
parishioners interpret and understand medical issues; and promoting good
health through classes, projects, and the dissemination of general
information on health-related issues.
Frances also writes a column in Luke's Log, our monthly St. Luke's
Church newsletter. |
