The Healing Mission Team pursues their commission to heal the sick, through the healing service following the main Sunday Eucharist, and through prayer, counseling and spiritual direction. Immediately following the 10AM Sunday Mass, as an extension of the greatest healing sacrament, the Eucharist, an informal healing service is held in the Lady Chapel. This ministry, and this service, have been greatly blessed. Many persons report that they find peace, consolation, and courage, often in the face of grave or threatening illness.
