About Caritas
Caritas is our community outreach ministry to the elderly, infirmed, homebound and bereaved of the parish.
Our services include:
- COMMUNION CALLS – If you are unable to attend Mass due to illness, a Eucharistic Minister will bring Communion to your home.
- CARE MASS – Homebound parishioners are invited to our Tuesday morning mass and luncheon. Transportation is provided by our volunteers.
- PRAYER LINE – Our members pray for your special intentions.
- NEW BEGINNINGS – Our bereavement support group. Meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month, at 10 a.m., September though May.
- MARTHA MINISTRY – Our volunteers attend funeral Masses to support the grieving families.
- VISITS – We visit 9 assisted living/nursing homes.
Caritas also serves Advent Heath North Pinellas (Florida Hospital North Pinellas/Helen Ellis Hospital).
