PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK
Please notify the Pastoral Center if you or a loved one is
hospitalized. The clergy would like to visit during this time. Hospitals cannot give us a list of parishioners that are hospitalized.
Also, please notify IHM if a person is in a nursing facility or
homebound. Please do not presume the information on a sick
parishioner will get to the clergy. The most effective way is to call
and let us know. Thank you for your cooperation.
