Parish Health Update
Beth Seng, BS, RN, our Parish Health Nurse, recently completed the
Parish Nursing and Congregational Health Ministry Course taught by Dr.
Ruth Stoll, DNSc., RN, which was sponsored by the Penn State Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center. The class, comprised of 11 nurses from a
variety of denominations, was held one Saturday of each month for 8
months at the Medical Center. Beth has held the position of Parish
Nurse since June 2006, when Liz Fite retired. You may recall that Ruth
Stoll was one of the founders of the Parish Health Ministry program at
the Cathedral.
Supporting Bishop Baxter's Consecretion
The Parish Health Ministry was also present at the October 2006
Consecretion of Bishop Baxter, providing first aid, physical
assistance and direction to guests. The South Central Pennsylvania EMS
provided on-site.standby services, which thankfully, were not needed.
Can you Help?
The Parish Health Ministry Team needs Volunteers. We need helpers
who, as needed, can provide assistance in the way of a phone call,
ride to the doctor, a visit, a card or a meal delivery to anyone of
our parishioners in need. Won’t you please consider this opportunity
to bring a smile and helping hand to our fellow parishioners? A BIG
“thank you” to everyone who is already involved in this essential
outreach.
Prayer List
A reminder to help us keep all prayer list information up to date,
