Service Ministries

MINISTRY OF HOPE

At St. John Berchmans, HOPE stands for “Helping Other People Enthusiastically”. This Ministry aims toward helping people around our community in a lot of different ways. Ministers will help provide meals for the sick, homebound, and families going through hard times. Ministers also offer to help those in need to run errands or to help in tasks around the house.

Training Needed: None

Time Commitment: As available/needed

MINISTRY OF CARE

Ministers of Care visit the sick and homebound of our parish bringing Holy Communion and praying with those in need. It is important to us that those who are sick and in need know that they are not forgotten.
