Outreach

The Outreach Committee meets the first Thursday of the month in the Parish Center, starting at 7:30 PM. The goal of the Committee is to focus on the corporal and spiritual needs of those in the surrounding area. For example, they run a Christmas Drive which assists a sister parish in Bridgeport in collecting clothing and needed gifts for those who are less fortunate. The Committee also helps Haiti Marycare by collecting clothing and pre-natal kits, which has dramatically reduced the instances of infant mortality. The Committee has also helped Project Rachael, which is a retreat held for post abortive women who need to cope with the tragedy of losing their babies. The Committee also conducts clothing drops for area shelters.

 

Parish Nurse Corner

May is National Blood Pressure Month. High blood pressure affects one in three Americans — and it’s the third leading cause of death in the U.S. This May, celebrate National Blood Pressure Month by raising your awareness with the power of information. Then, use that knowledge to fight unseen, potential risks.

Guidelines for blood pressure have changed in recent years. Around 120 over 80 is now considered the range for normal blood pressure. Anything higher than that means you should try to lower it through some simple lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

Know your numbers and have them checked regularly. “For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.” Proverbs 2:10.

Our Parish Nurses offer regular monitoring. Utilize them. If your numbers start inching up, visit your doctor.
