Pastoral Care Ministry
Ministry to the Sick and Homebound: Presentation Pastoral Care Ministers visit St. Luke’s East Hospital, University Health-Lakewood Hospital and local Care Centers on a regular basis. Due to patient privacy guidelines, the parish is not typically notified of parishioner admissions to hospitals or Care Centers. If you are hospitalized or placed in a Care Center, please have someone contact the Pastoral Care office, 816-251-1102. We also take Holy Communion to homebound Catholics in the area who are unable to attend weekend Mass.

Anointing of the Sick: The Sacrament of the Sick is available to all who are sick, will soon undergo surgery, or are suffering the effects of aging. The sacrament is administered approximately every three months at local Care Centers and periodically at weekend Masses. The sacrament is also available at any time upon request. Anointing of the Sick is not the Last Rites for the dying but is meant to grant strength and healing to those who are coping with illness. Therefore, request for the sacrament should never be delayed until the point of death.
BeFriender Ministry: Through one-on-one visits, BeFriender Ministers offer pastoral care by listening to the concerns of fellow parishioners when they are in times of special need such as job loss, the birth of a child, grieving, loneliness, divorce, or other trying situations. BeFriender Ministers participate in 24 hours of training as well as ongoing ministry reflection at the parish. If you would like to have a BeFriender Minister visit you or someone you know in our parish, please call the Pastoral Care office. Confidentiality is respected.

Bereavement Ministry
Bereavement Visits: Our parish wishes to support all parishioners who experience the loss of a loved one. If the funeral is not at Presentation Parish, please contact the Pastoral Care Office so that we may offer prayers at Mass and publish a remembrance in our weekly bulletin. Bereavement visits are also available upon request.
Bereavement Letters: A group of caring, compassionate parish volunteer ministers send periodic letters of care for one year to parishioners whose loved one’s funeral was at Presentation Parish.
Funeral Pre-planning: When a love one dies, family members have many decisions to make. Planning a loved one's funeral at that grief-filled time can be very challenging. Presentation Parish encourges family members to pre-plan their funeral rite. These plans are then kept on file a the church office. If you would like to pre-plan you or your loved one's funeral, please contact the Pastoral Care Office, 816-251-1102.
Funeral Hospitality Ministry: The Funral Hospitality team greets and provides hospitality and comfort to family members of the deceased and friends and acquaintances who come to pay their respects during visitations and funerals at Presentation. If you would like to join the Funeral Hospitality team, please call the Pastoral Care Office, 816-251-1102.
Grief Support Groups: Presentation Parish offers daytime and evening grief support groups in the fall and spring. Check the bulletin or call the Pastoral Care office for dates and times. Advance registration is required.
Mass of Remembrance: Presentation Parish offers a Mass of Remembrance near All Souls Day each year for parishioners who wish to commemorate their deceased loved ones. A candle procession honors the deceased.

Divorce Support: Presentation Parish offers a 10-week Divorce Support/Recovery Group for women each fall and winter. Check the bulletin for dates and times or call the Pastoral Care Office, 816-251-1102.

Gifted with Flowers: This ministry aims to extend the joy of flowers through repurposed bouquets. Our volunteers rescue donated blooms, create new arrangements, and deliver the bouquets to care facilities, our homebound community, and others by request.
Meal Ministry: This ministry provides home-cooked meals to parishioners who have recently returned home from the hospital or a care facility. Please call the Pastoral Care Office if you would like a meal delivery or if you would like to volunteer to prepare a meal.
OLP Seniors: The mission of the OLP Seniors is to provide social, spiritual and service experiences to enhance the lives and build community for our senior parishioners, over age 60. The group meets monthly for both onsite and offsite activities. Having one senior moment at a time!
Parish Prayer Request List: Parishioners who are ill, or who have a family member or friend who is ill, may request to have the person remembered on the Prayer Request list published in the weekly bulletin. Names remain on the Prayer Request list for two months but may be resubmitted upon request. Permission must be given by the individual before the name can be published. To add or remove a name from the Prayer Request list, contact the Pastoral Care office, 816-251-1102.

Prayer Chain Ministry: Requests for prayers may be submitted for the parish Prayer Chain ministry. Prayer Chain ministers will pass your prayer request from one to another via telephone or email. To place an intention on the Prayer Chain, or to volunteer as a Prayer Chain minister, call the Pastoral Care office, 816-251-1102.

Transportation: Presentation Parish will arrange transportation to and from church or doctor appointments for those who need a ride. If you need transportation services, please contact the Pastoral Care office at 816-251-1102. In addition, Presentation Parish provides bus transportation through John Knox Village Transportation Services for John Knox Village residents to the 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass and the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Mass, Holy Days of Obligation and also Ash Wednesday.
