THE Parish Pastoral Council\u00a0 in partnership with St Vincent De Paul Society Greythorn, are establishing a new lay ministry of pastoral visits to extend the hand of friendship and solidarity to those in our parish who would welcome a friendly chat with\u00a0 fellow parishioners.<\/p>\n
As a parishioner\u00a0 or member of SVDP there are a number of ways you can participate in this new ministry:<\/p>\n

\uf0d8\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You may like to participate in the program by being a Pastoral Visitor. Training will be provided. Visitors will operate on a roster system and must visit parishioners in pairs.<\/p>\n
Visitors will not be required to become involved with counselling or social issues, if these arise they must be referred to SVDP.<\/p>\n
The frequency of visits will be dependent on \u201csupply vs demand\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Pastoral Visiting Program is a way of reaching out as a caring Catholic community to those in need in a simple but effective way.<\/p>\n
If you would like a visit, be a visitor, know of someone who would like a visit or would like more information, please contact the parish office 9857 6395<\/strong> during office hours or by email greythorn@cam.org.au<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE Parish Pastoral Council\u00a0 in partnership with St Vincent De Paul Society Greythorn, are establishing a new lay ministry of pastoral visits to extend the hand of friendship and solidarity […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notices"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2453"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2456,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2453\/revisions\/2456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmgit.com\/testbuzz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
