BeFrienders
When you need someone to listen……..
Everyone is, at times, on a difficult journey and needs a caring companion who will listen, empathize, and be a reminder of a caring faith community. BeFrienders is a listening ministry where trained volunteers (BeFrienders) listen with compassion to parishioners in difficult and transitional situations such as illness, loneliness, or divorce or separation, or loss of a loved one. Our parish has a team of BeFrienders trained in offering care, a non-judgmental presence, and active listening. If you would like support from a BeFriender please contact Dianne Lerman at lermandianne@gmail.com or the Parish Office at (309) 662-7361.
