The Health Care Ministry is a group of parishioners interested in and committed to promoting health and wellness in the parish. The Health Care Ministry always welcomes new volunteers!
Blood Drives: Individuals 16 and older are invited to give blood 4-5 times a year. Blood drives are held in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center on designated Sundays. Many church members, their family members, and others have been given the gift of life from this ever growing resource.
CPR Education: Our goal is to equip parishioners to act in emergencies and ultimately save lives. Online classes are designed to provide the skills and practice that are needed to act in an emergency.
