Stephen Ministers are the after people - they walk one on one with someone who has experienced a life disruptor - after the funeral, after the diagnosis, after the job loss, after the divorce, or after a tragedy. Those who are serving as Stephen Ministers are trained to provide one to one confidential Christian care to those individuals who may be experiencing a life crisis for up to a year following the crisis.
Connie Carpenter, Diana Jetter, Michelle Jurica, and Karen Maerz
Lisa Olivieri, Cory Hendrick, Diane Lestina, Margaret Barnes, Conrad Carpenter, Eric Phillips, Michael Bonin, Margaret Cambone, Donna Prochaska, Gina Cook, Scott Cook.
Please support them by praying for them and if possible by providing hospitality support for their trainings.
Many of the Stephen Minister trainees will be coming straight from work and to show our support for the 50 hours that they will spend in training to serve our parish, we would like to have a meal for them at 6 PM before the class.
