FRIENDLY VISITORS:

Description: Parishioners who are homebound or clients in a nursing home receive routine visits by a Friendly Visitor. Our mission is to create and nourish a welcoming spirit of community within our parish family and reach out, personally and actively from the fullness of our faith.

We serve our sisters and brothers in their emotional and spiritual needs with justice and love and respond appropriately to ethical and moral concerns in society.

A short orientation is required.

Friendly Visitors

Contact info: 215.679.9275

Our Friendly Visitors visit the homebound either in their home, independent living facilities or in the nursing home.

Thanks to the response from our parishioners we now have thirteen (13) visitors who are willing to visit homebound members on a routine basis. But we are in need of more! Please consider answering your Baptismal Call to serve our brothers and sisters by being a Friendly Visitor.

If you or someone you know is lonely and in need of companionship and company from a Friendly Visitor, please consider calling the rectory at 215-679-9275. Provide the parishioners’ name, address and phone number as well as your own. We will respond ASAP.
