Health Apostolate

The Health Apostolate works to improve the Spiritual health of our parishioners through a holistic approach, which includes:

• Scheduled visits to the hospital, home bound and nursing homes for prayer, comfort, and fellowship

• Work directly with the Illinois Blood Bank to provide opportunities for blood donation at St. Patrick's Parish
• Provide information on where  flu immunizations may be received
• Provide opportunities for blood pressures to be taken, with information for any necessary follow up 
• Make certain the parish has all necessary medical equipment, such as the AED, as well as maintaining the equipment
• Provide opportunities for parishioners to take classes to become certified in AED/CPR
  

Have you or a family member been hospitalized? Would you like a visit? Call the parish at (815) 562-2370.
If you are facing illness, surgery, or other health concerns, please request Anointing of the Sick.
