A Meaningful Way to Be Present for Others

ICSJ Parish’s Ministry of Care connects our parish to members who can no longer be attend in person through communion, prayer, and connection—ensuring no one is forgotten. If you’re open to a meaningful way to make a difference, this may be for you. We’re offering this opportunity for ICSJ parishioners to serve at monthly 30-minute communion services on Saturdays at 3:30 PM at Hallmark Senior Living Community, or through weekly one-on-one home visits. Training and support are provided, and a shadow visit is available for those who would like to explore the ministry before committing. Visit our Ministry of Care page or contact Elly at erodriguez@icsjparish.org to learn more or sign up for a shadow visit.

Jan 9: Wisdom, Women & Wine Book Club

The next WWW Book Club is on Friday, January 9th at 3:30 at St. Joseph Parish Center!
