Wellness Ministry
The Wellness Ministry at SS. Isidore and Maria Parish has been active for over 20 years.
PURPOSE:
The Wellness Ministry is dedicated to nurturing the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of our parishioners and the community. Grounded in faith, compassion, and love, we strive to provide resources, support, and education that empower individuals and families to lead balanced, healthy lives. Through prayer, fellowship, and practical guidance, we seek to create an environment where everyone can thrive and find the strength to serve God and one another with joy and vitality.
ACTIVITIES:
Coordinate educational programs and provide counseling and referrals for promoting our community’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health; establish connections with internal and external partners to work together to address the social determinants of health, thereby improving community wellness in our parish, town, and beyond. These programs are continually evaluated and include/have included monthly blood pressure screenings and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) support meetings; diaper and food collections for local at-need populations; seminars on affordable medical insurance options and the risks of social media usage in youths; and providing coping strategies and support for those experiencing grief and loss around the holidays.
