Overview

The All Souls community is immensely caring and mutually supportive. The primary pastors are the lay people. Clergy and trained Lay Eucharistic Ministers regularly call on people at home or in the hospital. The rector and other clergy staff are available for pastoral care, counseling, and sacramental confession by appointment and can be called at any time in the event of a crisis or emergency. We have an active healing team who meet regularly to pray for those in need and who provide the laying on of hands for healing during our Sunday liturgies.

Pastoral care at All Souls is mostly an informal yet well-organized activity. When families or individuals experience crises or needs, they receive help in the form of meals, childcare, laundry, transportation, and visits and companionship. Lay Eucharist Ministers provide ongoing care for housebound members by bringing communion from the Sunday Eucharist.
