Ministry ( Committee) for the ill and Afflicted

One of the duties of the Sisterhood is to “visit the sick, inquire into the cases of those in need and aid for them, and provide visitation and aid to the imprisoned.” (See “ROCOR Statutes for Sisterhoods in North America,” April 1955) The Sisterhood tasks its committee, “Ministry for the Ill & Afflicted” to accomplish this important undertaking. The Ministry seeks to meet the needs of the sick and imprisoned through special acts of compassion and prayer. This year, with the help of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Ministry hopes to:

• offer daily prayers for the sick and imprisoned ( “Prayer is a great weapon, a rich treasure, a wealth that is never exhausted, an undisturbed refuge, a cause of tranquility, the root of a multitude of blessings, and their source.” —St. John Chrysostom)
• launch a greeting card campaign to bring cheer to sick parishioners and comfort to prisoners
• assist the clergy in their visits to the infirm
• organize meals on wheels for ailing parishioners as needed
• notify the Benevolence Fund about the special needs of sick parishioners

During the post-Nativity Sviatki and Paschal Bright Week, the Ministry prepares and distributes Christmas treats and Pascha baskets to shut ins and parishioners in nursing homes.

Bazaar Committee

The bazaar committee is a group of parishioners lead by the sisterhood who meet on an adhoc basis to plan and conduct the annual parish bazaar.
