Our Health Care Ministers visit Catholic patients in Duke Raleigh Hospital on a daily basis, including Sundays. We also visit the sick, home-bound and those in nursing homes and assisted living communities that are assigned to St. Raphael by the Deanery. We bring the Eucharist and prayer to those who cannot make it to Church. We can also minister to the terminally ill if requested by the family.
Training sessions required, as is the pastor’s approval.
Sunday ministers time commitment: 3 to 4 hours.
Weekday ministers time commitment: 2 hours.
This ministry is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
