There are many ways to describe pastoral care but each of us knows when we need it and whether we received it. The hardest part for the clergy and lay representatives of the church is to know who needs pastoral care, whether it is a home visit or a hospital visit. With the new HIPPA laws regarding medical information, hospitals no longer notify clergy of medical stays.

Saint Anne pastoral care reaches out in many ways, from birthday greetings to visiting those who are unable to attend church. It is more important than ever to let us know if you are going into the hospital or if you know of someone else who is going to have surgery or just needs prayer or a visit.
