Hospital Care and Nursing Home Visitation Along with the clergy, lay volunteers visit parishioners in local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and senior residential facilities.

After Care Visitation Volunteers are assigned parishioners who have been recently discharge from the hospital. The lay minister telephones the person at home and will often visit with food prepared by the Daughters of the Holy Cross.

Bereaved Care Visitation At the time of death of a parishioner a visitor is assigned to go to the home of the family and carry a bag of paper supplies. Often the lay visitor will offer support in many ways, from answering telephones, greeting people as they come by the house or preparing a meal for the family. Notes of condolence written on behalf of the parish are also apart of this ministry.

Homebound Visitation For parishioners, who cannot come to church, lay visitors are assigned. These visitors go and see these people as often as they feel it is necessary. Food is also available for this ministry.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers Lay Eucharist Ministers are trained and licensed by the Diocese of Upper South Carolina. Each week following the 9:00 o’clock service (10:00 in summer) these ministers are sent from the altar to carry the sacrament to those who cannot attend church. They visit hospitals, nursing homes and individual homes, reminding the person visited by our action that though not present at worship, they are still an important part of Christ's body Trinity.

New Life Ministries Lay Volunteers are assigned to shepherd expectant and new parents (via birth or adoption) through normal pregnancies and childbirth, difficult pregnancies, the birth of a special needs child, or the loss of a child. Families are nurtured through prayer, phone calls, literature, home and hospital visits, and meal preparation.
