The Parish of St Faith with The Hospital of St Cross Pastoral Care

Members of the worshipping congregation are the eyes, ears and hands of Pastoral Care, in their lives in ‘the church and community. Please also play your part as a member of this parish by exercising pastoral care to the best of your ability whenever the need arises.

At St Cross, there is a team of Lay Pastors who assist the Master and the Chaplain in caring for those in need. Each Lay Pastor is a volunteer who has undertaken training based on the Diocesan Training Course for pastoral care and has been commissioned by the church.

Lay Pastors visit people who are unwell, who have been bereaved, are lonely, housebound or troubled. They offer empathy, prayer and a confidential listening ear, as well as practical help.

If you, or someone you know, would like to talk to or be visited by a member of the Lay Pastors Group.

Please contact the Master, the Chaplain or Cled Jenkins, the Lay Pastors Co-ordinator, (Winchester 861552) who will arrange for one of the team to visit you.

Thanks Cled Jenkins
