Homebound Ministry: There are several parishioners of St. Mary’s who are in the Care Center, the Bluffs and homebound who would be happy to receive visitors. As part of the Body of Christ, we are called to be Christ to one another. There is a need to invigorate the Homebound Ministry so that these special friends and family members know that they are remembered and loved. Please consider being a part of this important ministry by volunteering a few hours each month or by becoming a prayer partner. For more information regarding this rewarding opportunity, please contact Barb Kobs or Maria Schultz at 651-345-4134.
