Care TeamThe Our Lady of Hope Care Team Ministry was formed to fill a need, to try to make sure as many of our fellow parish members feel loved and supported. This is especially important during times of stress or grief. Our team sends cards, makes supportive phone calls, and visits those who could use some face-to-face contact.

Homebound
As a Eucharistic Minister of Holy Communion, lay people can serve the Catholic Church by distributing Holy Communion during Mass or to the sick or homebound at homes, adult family homes, retirement centers, assisted living and nursing homes. An Extraordinary Minister must be fully initiated as a member of the Church (having received the Sacrament of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation) This ministry is extremely spiritual and personally fulfilling.

Social Action Committee
Responding to the call of Jesus Christ to love God and love our neighbors, the Social Action Committee parishes exist for the following reasons:
- Support parish ministries that serve those in need
- Educate the parish communities regarding principles of Catholic Social Teaching.
- Sponsor-specific projects
The committee sponsors speakers on Social Justice topics and a monthly bulletin column on topics of social justice. Efforts of this committee have resulted in Mental Health Ministry; the Care Team Ministry and the Outreach Ministries Commission being established in our parishes.
The Social Action Committee meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday, 7:00-8:30 PM in St. Mary's Hall.
