St. John's Homebound
St. John’s serves not only the parishioners who can make it to Mass, but also those who are homebound or in nursing homes within our area. These folks appreciate having visitors and love to chat! It makes a real difference in their lives to have consistent visitors. This is a great opportunity for us to love those on the peripheries as Jesus calls us to.
Father Mark has a list of parishioners in locations in Oxford and Water Valley. You can go at any time that fits your schedule. You can go with a buddy or with Father Mark/Alex. We ask that if you commit, you follow through, as consistency is important in this ministry. Elizabeth and Joe of the leadership team will help coordinate the visits. This is an interest form, and more information will be sent if you want to volunteer.
Father Mark is planning a small service at the Yalobusha nursing home on October 13th and is inviting students to go with him.
