St. Gabriel Outreach & Care

Mission Statement: We are called to direct our efforts to supporting, coordinating and implementing ways to reach out and care for the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of parishioners and the community at large throughout all phases of life.

Hospital Visitation

Bringing Greetings and Comfort

Members of the Hospital Visitation Ministry bring "greetings and comfort" from our St. Gabriel community to parishioners who are currently staying at both LakeWest and TriPoint Hospitals. Nearly 30 volunteers follow a rotating schedule to visit hospitalized individuals at the two hospitals on a weekly basis. Hospital Visitation ministers receive prior training and are asked to spend time with parishioners who may want them to pray with them, hold their hand, provide conversation or simply offer support.

If you or a loved one are in need of a visit, whether in the hospital or at home, please call the Parish Office and a ministry representative will contact you to make arrangements.

Please note: due to HIPPA laws, parishioners will be visited when hospitalized only by family request.

If you would like to extend compassion and volunteer with either the Hospital Visitation Ministry, please call the Parish Office.
