All Souls Inreach
It is a priority of ours, as a church family, to care for one another. Much of that care is offered
informally, through the friendships shared among parishioners. We also have some
more structured ways to care for one another:
Care Cards
A group of All Souls parishioners send cards to those on our prayer list and others in need of consolation or congratulations. Happy or sad, we let them know everyone at All Souls Episcopal Church is praying for them and wishing them well. If you know someone who could use a card or if you would like to join our Care Card ministry, please let us know. Email the Office.
Prayer List
Our prayer list appears in our weekly announcements and is emailed each Thursday. The names on the prayer list are read out during the Prayers of the People during Sunday Mass. To include someone in this listing, please call or email the parish office. Names stay on the prayer list for one month unless the parish office is notified that they should stay on longer. Email the office to place a request.
Pastoral Care
Caring for one another is at the heart of All Souls' identity. If you are facing a challenge, our community's support awaits you. Let us know by emailing Mthr. Sara or Kevin LeGrand. You may also call the parish office at 202-232-4244.
Healing Ministry
Several All Souls parishioners are trained as healing ministers. They are available at Mass on the first Sunday of each month in the Mary Chapel during the administration of Holy Communion for prayer, laying of hands for healing, and anointing with holy oil. Alternatively, if you would like a healing minister to join you in a virtual, one-to-one healing rite, please contact Al Muller or Lisa Watson via email.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors
All Souls would like to help train volunteers as Lay Eucharistic Visitors. If you have been a LEV in the past or in another parish and would like to be a part of this ministry at All Souls, email Kevin LeGrand. Email here.
