Pastoral Care
Our Rector and assisting clergy believe that supporting parishioners through times of illness, grief, loss, and other spiritual challenges is among their most important responsibilities. The clergy are also available to bring Holy Communion to those who are unable to attend church. If you would like a member of the clergy to visit you at home or in the hospital, please contact the Church Office or email Father Joseph Wallace-Williams at wallacewilliamsj@oes.edu.
Eucharistic Ministers
Eucharistic Ministers, also known as LEMs or Chalice Bearers, play a meaningful role during Holy Communion. During the service, they assist the priest by helping distribute the chalice to parishioners. Two ministers are typically scheduled for the 10:00 service, and each person must be licensed by the Bishop, with support provided through the church.
Serving as a Eucharistic Minister is a sacred and humbling opportunity to be at the heart of worship. It’s a chance to connect with others in the parish, make new friends, and experience how even a simple act of service can open the way for grace.
