Pastoral Care:

The members of St Jude's seek care for each other (and those outside the church) pastorally, as well as spiritually.

This is often done within the Home Groups where people can see the needs of others in the group and provide practical, emotional and spiritual support

There is also a Pastoral Care Team which aims to attend to the needs of people within the Parish in the following ways:

• Provision of meals for people in need through accident, illness, maternity, etc.
• Transport for elderly for medical or hospital treatment, etc.
• Hospital visitation
• Caring for the elderly & 'shut-ins' by visitation, giving practical help, or 'phoning them.

This team aids and enhances the work being carried out daily by the clergy of St Jude's.
