The Clergy also teach in our adult education programs and in the Church School, oversee the finances and resources of the Church and participate in the ongoing life of the organizations of the parish. All Clergy work under the authority of the Rector. Pastoral ministry is available to all of our parishioners. The Clergy make regular visitations to our newcomers, shut-ins, hospitalized, and others of the parish. Calling is seen as an important part of sacramental ministry.
Clergy are available in their offices during parish hours.
It is important to make an appointment if you wish to see someone in particular. A priest can be of great help as a Spiritual Director, giving support and suggestions regarding a rule of life, prayer, the sacramental life and service to and within the world. The Clergy are available 24 hours a day in the event of a crisis. They can offer support and comfort, direction and encouragement, and the sacraments of the Church in times of emergency, illness, injury or death. It should be noted that for counseling, as for sacramental confession, strict confidentiality is binding for the ordained ministers of the Church.
