TELECARE for Seniors &
Homebound
The Telecare program of St. Francis Parish, works with our parish social
ministry office to coordinate efforts to assist parishioners who may need
help.
Telecare volunteers make an occasional friendly phone call to assure
seniors that they continue to be an important part of our parish.
We share news about what is going on in the parish and directions on where
to find help when needed. (Telecare at St. Francis was started in
January of 1995.)
Would you like to make, or receive a call? Do you know
someone who would benefit from a call? Seniors calling other seniors
is an ideal way to make new friends with similar memories and situations.
If interested, contact our Telecare Coordinator, Neil Mueller , or,

Tele-Care Ministry - Coordinator's Job Description
Past Coordinators Listed Above
Coordinator of the Tele-Care Ministry: Tele-Care offers an opportunity
to be involved with St. Francis outreach without leaving your home or attending
meetings. On a monthly basis, callers check in with seniors, others
who are housebound, or those who would simply like a friendly call from
another St. Francis parishioner. The basic purpose of the call is to say
hello and share what's happening at St. Francis. The Coordinator's
responsibility is to serve by receiving names of people
who would like calls and giving those names to people who share their
time by making calls. Additionally, the Coordinator will be involved in
thinking about how Tele-Care can benefit from or assist in the effort to
develop a Stephen Ministry here at St. Francis. Learn more, Contact:
