The Homebound Visitation Ministry seeks to ensure that parishioners who are unable to regularly attend church services remain connected to the life of the Church and the love of our parish family. Through phone calls, handwritten notes, cards, and visits, volunteers offer encouragement, companionship, and a caring Christian presence to those who may be isolated due to illness, age, mobility challenges, or other circumstances.

Inspired by Christ’s call to care for one another, this ministry helps remind our homebound parishioners that they remain a cherished and valued part of our faith community.

Chairwomen: Alexis Glover and Georgia Darby

Our chapter continues the important work of preserving its rich history through the newly established Historic Committee.

If you have materials from past events or would like to assist, please contact Georgia Darby at gdarby@thebeachcompany.com or Alexis Glover at alexishglover@gmail.com.

Preserving our past helps ensure the strength and continuity of our future.
