  Pastoral Care

  The ministry of pastoral care consists of reaching out to those in need, building relationships, and healing. We engage ourselves in the threefold

  expression of social action: providing direct service to those in need, empower people to help themselves and advocating for those without an

  effective voice. It's coming face to face with Christ in those less fortunate and troubled and guiding them back to their Christian values.  
  Young adults can partake in this ministry and respond pastorally by: 

• Seeking or helping those in need of counseling at their local parishes, college campuses, military, or within organizations and movements that assist in the developmental tasks of young adults.
• Joining a peer-counseling or support group or encouraging those in need to attend.
• Becoming aware of young adults who are sick at home or in the hospital and establish a ministry/group where these individuals can be visited by someone from the parish and receive the sacraments.
• Offering your time in helping those less fortunate by volunteering in faithful citizenship.
