| Ministry of Care |
Our Ministers of Care, both lay men and women, are mandated by the Church to make a pastoral visit and bring Holy Eucharist to those parishioners who are in hospitals, nursing homes or homebound. They also assist at our two Anointing of the Sick Masses. Training is provided. |
Visiting Our Homebound
Our Lady of the Brook has a team of Ministers of Care who visit the sick and elderly in their homes to bring them Holy Communion.
If you, or someone you know, would like to receive a special visit, we would love to spend some holiday time with you. Please call the rectory at 847.272.5686 to request a visit.
Also, if you or a member of your family is in the hospital, please call the Parish Office at 847.272.5686, to let us know. Hospitals have confidentiality issues prohibiting us from obtaining that information. Your call can be our only source informing us of your hospital stay. |

| This year as result of our request for new volunteers for the various activities of the parish, we had four parishioners taking the six week training program to become Ministers of Care to the homebound, nursing homes, and the hospital. We are very happy to welcome Ruth Byrne, Dawn McAnaney, and Patti Whalen to this ministry. We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have served in this specially ministry of outreach to our parishioners. |
