ElderFriends
ElderFriends consists of a number of services to senior
adults in our parish.
•
Any
senior parishioner who is unable to attend Mass because of
illness, surgery, or disability may request Communion be
brought to their home or a care facility, either weekly or
on a one time basis.
• Homebound
parishioners or those who are in a care facility who would
like to remain in touch with St. Monica, may request visits
from ElderFriends.
•
Rides to
weekend Masses are available for seniors who are living
independently, but no longer drive.
•
Although
ElderFriends can provide no nursing services, they will
come to your home to relieve a caregiver for short periods
of time, if asked. This can enable the caregiver to go to
Mass, get groceries, or run short-term errands.
To request any of these services or to volunteer to be a
part of this ministry, contact the parish office or call
Ethel Schraad at 341-7954.
