PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK

The Pastoral Care Ministry at St. Francis Borgia exists to give spiritual care to our parishioners. We visit the sick, those who are homebound, those in adult homes or nursing homes. We visit people after they have been hospitalized and follow up with hospice patients. When the Church cares for the sick, it serves Christ himself in the suffering members of his Mystical Body. The Church shows this by visiting those in poor health, raising them up through the sacrament of anointing, and by nourishing them with the Eucharist during their illness. 

Please call the Parish Office (636-239-6701, ext. 1510) about receiving services from this ministry or volunteering for the ministry.

COMMUNION CALLS

Holy Communion is brought once a week to those who are sick or unable to attend church on a regular basis.  Please call the Parish Office at  636-239-6701 to arrange a visit.

HOSPITAL VISITATION

If you are hospitalized, we would like to visit and pray with you during your stay.  It is of great importance that members of St. Francis Borgia who are hospitalized notify the parish office. Due to the HIPPA Law, hospitals no longer automatically inform parishes when a parishioner is admitted. 

Remember, our Priests, Pastoral Associates, etc. will be happy to visit you if we are notified. Please call the Parish Office at  636-239-6701.
