St Luke's Place / Nursing Home

Our parish offers pastoral care to the residents of our local senior's residence - St Luke's Place. In addition to weekly visits by our Ministers of Communion to the Sick on the Lord's Day, a monthly Mass is celebrated for the residents by our Pastor. Ministers of Care, who are Volunteers from the parish, assist in getting residents from their rooms to the Chapel at St Luke's for this celebration. Each December we also host a Christmas Caroling evening for all of the residents and are blessed with the presence of our Kids Khior for this night. Our high school youth group—Da Crew—also prepares Christmas Gift Bags for the residents each year.

Residents at other local Nursing Homes, who are parishioners, are visited upon request - Please contact our Pastor or the parish office at 519 658 4443 to arrange a visit.

Communion is brought to the patients at the hospital daily and weekly upon request - contact the Pastoral Care Office at the Hospital.
