This Anointing and Prayer for Healing is available to all Catholics living within Parish boundaries. Church Law regulates that each Parish is to provide the needed Pastoral Care of Catholics admitted at any Health Care institution within Parish boundaries whether they are registered parishioners or not.

If you are in need of the Sacrament during your admission to a Hospital, Nursing Home or Hospice facility, contact the nearest Catholic Church but also inform your own Parish.

For Pastoral Care at Menorah House, West Boca Medical Center, and The Meridian at Boca Raton, call Our Lady of Lourdes 561-483-2440.

The Bereavement Ministry is one of prayerful consolation by a peer support group in response to the needs of the grieving. No member of the Faith community should grieve alone. The compassion of God embraces all. Our aim is to help those who have suffered loss by reinforcing that Christ is always with us, and He will, in time, turn our sorrow into joy.

The Bereavement Support Group meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 10:00 a.m. in the Holy Family room.

For more information please contact the Parish Office at 561-483-2440.

Hearts and Crafts is a group that meets on Tuesdays. For more information on the group please call the the Parish Office at 561-483-2440

These are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion who ensure that our homebound parishioners who are unable to attend Mass can receive Holy Communion.

These special ministers are sent forth from the Mass weekly to take the Eucharist, Scripture and Parish news to private homes, hospitals, hospices and assisted living facilities, located within Parish boundaries.

If you or your loved one is homebound, seriously ill or in the hospital, and is in need of prayers and of Holy Communion, please let us know by calling the Parish Office at 561-483-2440.

Also, call us if you wish your name to be added to the prayer list in our Bulletin and Website. Please keep us informed about your health so we can keep our prayer list current.

H.O.P.E. SENIOR OUTREACH

H.O.P.E. Senior Outreach is a Parish-based ministry committed to Helping Older People Everyday who are parishioners living within Parish boundaries and who are homebound, infirm, or alone. Our H.O.P.E. volunteers wish to share God’s love with Seniors in our Parish by providing some assistance and information about community services available to them. We are not an agency of licensed professionals, so we cannot provide professional services. As a volunteer, the time you give to our seniors is invaluable. For more information, please call the Parish Office at 561-483-2440 or contact Mrs. Mary Viadero.

WILLS & BEQUESTS

A Bequest IS a gift of money or assets left through your will, is vital to your Parish Church and the people the Church serves. It is a unique gift and an investment in the future. By leaving a bequest you are making a lasting difference in the life of the Parish community.

Our Lady of Lourdes welcomes charitable donations made by bequest through your Will or through Trust. In remembering our Church you also leave a lasting legacy.

There are various forms of bequests that you may make. For example, the proceeds of an unrestricted bequest may be used where needed, whereas a restricted bequest specifies the use of the donation. Bequests may come in the form of a specific dollar amount, securities, real estate, tangible property, and retirement account assets. A residuary bequest allows Our Lady of Lourdes to receive all or a percentage of your estate after all obligations have been met. If a Will or Trust already exists, an amendment can be done by an attorney through a document called a codicil, which adds a new bequest.

Our Lady of Lourdes is a charitable, not-for-profit institution; therefore, all bequests are fully deductible for estate tax purposes.
