Called by Christ to love our neighbor (Luke 10:27), we seek to provide "Helping Hands” services to senior members of our parish community who are in need.
“Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
Knowing that there is an under-served community of seniors within our parish, we will seek to help with tasks that aid them in daily living.
Many Seniors live alone, or as a couple, may be incapacitated in some ways, and need our support.
WHAT WILL WE DO
Some support that may be offered includes
Grocery shopping, for or with you
Light handy-man work
Check-in phone calls periodically- especially after severe weather conditions
Transportation- to church, church events, Medical appointments within defined geographic limits
Assist in reviewing complicated paper work-ie Medicare documents, insurance coverage, assist with filling out forms.
WHO WILL WE SERVE
Seniors who are registered Parishioners of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church
Recruited and enrolled with Family permission
