Who are the people in our faith community who need a BeFriender Minister? Maybe it is a single parent struggling with raising children or a person living with a chronic illness. Perhaps it is an unemployed head of household weary from job hunting or a new mom adjusting to caring for a baby.

BeFriender Ministers provide pastoral care for people in all kinds of difficult or transitional situations. They are trained lay volunteers who extend the care of our faith community. We meet one-on-one with those members of St. Mary Parish who are hurting for one reason or another. This is compassionate listening, NOT counseling or advice-giving.

 Candidates for BeFriender Ministry take 20 hours of training. Once trained, they meet approximately one hour per week with those they befriend. They also attend bi-weekly meetings for ministry reflection and continuing education.
