Pastors Prayer Team

"No memberships, No dues, No fees, No sign-up"
A team "without borders"
Just say 5-10 minutes of prayer each a day for Fr.
Mel and the parish. When you first wake up or in
the shower or with coffee and toast or driving to
work or over lunch or while walking or jogging or
just before bed. It's easy to work it in! Just do it!

Homebound Ministry
Many people reach a point in their lives when they are
no longer able to come to church regularly, but they
remain a loved and cared about member of our parish
community. How can we help them?

SAN DIEGO

Volunteer to visit a homebound member

Volunteer to bring communion
Volunteer to transport someone to church with you
Pray for the volunteers and the homebound
Pray that they understand how treasured they are
in Gods eyes

If you feel you can help with this ministry, or if you

know of someone who could benefit from it, please call
Robin at 619-922-7941 or notify the rectory office.

front of the church; a celebration of our St.
Columba community.
