Our health ministry integrates physical, spiritual and mental health aspects of parish life. Areas of parishioner participation include blood drives, event and program planning, prayer shawl ministry and home visitation. Health and safety-related ideas are considered for implementation when the need is presented by the community. The Parish nurse assists families to coordinate with parish/community services during times of health-related issues. The Parish Nurse can be contacted Tue/Thu 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at 937-434-6081 or nurse@stcharles-kettering.org.
