We are here for you

The grief ministry is a sharing and healing group designed to help you through the difficulties of the grieving process. We come together to share stories and methods to better understand grief and loss.

Ministry of Care

to the homebound

St. John the Baptist's Ministers of Care bring Christ's Body, His Word and His Presence to homebound parishioners and those living within our parish boundaries.

The homebound person may be unable to attend church for various reasons, including illness, recuperation or home hospice. A typical visit is approximately 30 minutes once a week. The Diocese of Joliet requires a Care Minister to have been a Eucharistic Minister and complete the Minister of Care training. The only skills necessary are to be a caring person, a good listener, respectful of God's people and their dignity, and want to share a bit of Christ's love.
