Parish
Nurse Ministry Francis 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.
|
Enabling
them 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. Francis also writes a column in Luke's Log, our monthly St. Luke's Church newsletter. |
