BEFRIENDER MINISTRY

Befriender Ministry at St. John's is very ALIVE.  We currently have 20 individuals who have completed training and now have a relationship with a parishioner who has asked for a companion.  Many of our befriended parishioners are homebound, or walking through grief after a loss, or isolated because of a chronic illness or have little family support nearby.  We all need each other in this world and the Befriender Ministry helps bring people together and bring the gospel to bear on each others lives.  Each month the Befrienders gather to support one another, share prayer and have a little fun.  If you are interested in becoming a Befriender, training begins this fall.  Call Anne Marie or Judy Quayle at 651-633-8333.
