JANUARY 6, 2013

WHEN YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED.

Please be aware that there are now stricter

legal and ethical guidelines regarding, the dissemination of patient,

information from hospitals to churches and clergy. In addition.

today’s shorter hospital stays make timely pastoral visit difficult at

best. Therefore, if you have occasion to be hospitalized and desire

pastoral support, you or a family member should do two things.

Notify the rectory of the hospitalization as soon as possible. Also,

upon admission to the hospital you will be asked if you desire to

have your religious affiliation noted as part of your medical record.

Please state both your denomination and parish. If you fail to do

either of the above, your parish priest may have no way of knowing

your needs.

There may be occasion when the rectory and

Religious Education Offices are closed due

to inclement weather. On these “questionable” days, you

may wish to “call ahead” prior to leaving your home to verify

the office is open.

The week ahead and the month of January

Health Ministry Meeting, January 14th – 9:45AM in the

rectory dining room. Please note all other ministries and

committee do not meet during the month of January.

We acknowledge a gift to the Floral Fund
