This is one of our more committed volunteer positions due to the training involved and the importance of the ministry.
Stephen Ministers bring, and administer, Communion to people who are unable to come to Mass to receive it. This can include going to hospitals, hospice and individual homes. (Training is provided by the Diocese.)
Please consider researching this rewarding ministry to find out if it’s right for you. Contact Sacred Heart Cathedral for more information, (907) 474-9032.

This service opportunity is done at your own pace and on your own time. We need people to crochet or knit prayer shawls and deliver them to the church when they are finished. These made-with-love shawls are handed out to parishioners who are grieving the death of a family member, celebrating a baptism and at other appropriate times.
If you are in need of a prayer shawl, or you know someone in need, please contact Katherine O'Brien, Parish Coordinator at 907.488.2595 or [email protected].
