The Meal Ministry at Holy Name of Jesus Parish exists to provide for the material and spiritual needs
of parishioners experiencing significant life changes. Volunteers of the meal ministry do this by
providing meals and praying for meal recipients. Food, prayer, and relationships give comfort to those
in need while connecting members of our parish across generations.
The number of meals provided varies according to the availability of volunteers and circumstances of
the recipient, but generally, we like to accommodate in the following ways:
- Welcoming New Life (including childbirth, adoption, fostering, etc.): 2-3 meals per week
for 2-4 weeks - Bereavement: 2-3 meals per week for 2-4 weeks.
- Illness or Surgery: Varies based on length of illness or recovery.
- Other: Please submit the Meal Request Form and the meal ministry will contact you to
evaluate other situations.
