BeFrienders
- “Be a Friend to someone who needs a good listener”
Befrienders are volunteers who complete a weekend of training and then accept commitment to be visitors. Befriending is an extension of pastoral ministry–although it can be informal and simply a way of life that involves listening to others we encounter. Training is held in the fall. Contact: Nancy Ludescher, Parish Nurse, 645-8816 ext. 203
Meals on Wheels
St. Dominic volunteers take their turn delivering noon meals to homebound in Northfield two weeks in November and two weeks in March. The meals are prepared at Northfield Hospital where volunteers pick them up for distribution. Contact Kathy Jasnoch, 663-1510, if you are interested in delivering Meals On Wheels.
