In the present condition of global society, where injustices abound and growing numbers of people are deprived of basic human rights and considered expendable, the principle of the common good immediately becomes, logically and inevitably, a summons to solidarity and a preferential option for the poorest of our brothers and sisters. – Laudato Si’ 158

Friends of St. James

Friends of St. James

Friends of St. James is a confidential, caring lay ministry which offers supportive listening to those in our parish with needs.  We provide one-to-one Catholic care to hurting people. Our visits focus on bringing Holy Communion to those unable to come to Mass because of illness, age or other circumstances.  When receiving Holy Communion from a care giver who listens, prays supports and encourages them they feel God’s love and know they are not forgotten.

If you are hospitalized be sure to indicate you would like a “clergy visit”and you will be visited by someone daily from St. John the Baptist or St. Francis of Assisi parishes for Holy Communion and prayer. For additional information or to request to become a Friends of St. James, you can call St John’s parish office at 303.776.0737 or email deaconmike2@gmail.com
