Parish Nursing is a ministry that combines the art of nursing the person as a whole--body-mind-spirit--with the healing ministry taught by Jesus.  The Parish Nurse works with the members of the congregation to promote health and wellness, reaching out with support during illness, and provides educational opportunities on health matters for the congregation.  We hold blood pressure screenings the first weekend of each month after each of the masses.
