The pastoral care of God’s people is an integral part of the life and mission at All Saints! We desire to provide pastoral support and resources which meet the needs of members of our community and which call forward those with the gifts and talents to be of service.
How can we be of service to you and your loved ones?
How can you be of service to your brothers and sisters in Christ?
Grief fellowship ministry is for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one, no matter how recent or how long ago. Please consider this invitation for yourself or extend this invitation to another who is suffering loss. This group meets on the first Saturday of the month, 8:30-9:30am in the staff lounge.
Upcoming Dates: Dec 7 | Jan 9 | Feb 1 | Mar 1
Those confined to their homes or healthcare facilities are integral members of our faith community. We strive to include these brothers and sisters in parish life through sacramental and pastoral outreach. Our Eucharistic Caregiver Ministry offers Communion to the home-bound, while our priests and deacons are available for pastoral visits.
All Saints provides Catholic pastoral and sacramental ministries to several local care centers in the area. If you know someone who is homebound and unable to attend Mass, and would like a visit from one of our communion ministers, or if you are interested in joining this ministry email us.
More info coming soon.
Prayer shawls are created to be a comfort for those suffering from mental, physical, or emotional difficulties. Those who create these prayer shawls -- through crochet, knitting, weaving, or tying -- give their time and service as an act of prayer for the ones who will use their shawls. They pray for healing, peace, and knowledge of God’s loving presence.
This group meets in the staff lounge from 7-8:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Anyone is welcome! Prayer Shawls are available at no charge in the gathering space in the church. Anyone may take a shawl for themselves or for a friend.

Every life is worth living, whether it lasts for a brief moment or a hundred years, each of our lives is a perfect gift. At every stage and in every circumstance, we are held in existence by God's love. Our relationships on earth are meant to help us and others grow in perfect love. We are meant to depend on one another, serve each other in humility, and walk together in times of suffering.
Pregnancy Choices Life Care Center
All Saints organizes a monthly collection for the Pregnancy Choices Life Care Center in Apple Valley, which offers direct support to women and families dealing with challenging pregnancies.
We provide rosaries for First Communicants, Confirmands, RCIA candidates, churches, chapels, and a wide variety of Catholic missions around the world. We teach the craft and provide supplies for making both chain and mission rosaries. This group meets in the staff lounge once a month on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8pm. The purpose of these meetings is to receive training, pick up supplies, share techniques, and coordinate efforts to meet various objectives.
Most rosary-making is done at home. All basic tools, rosary parts, and training are provided.
Brighten someone's day with a card from out of the blue!
Let our seniors know they are not forgotten.
Senior Smiles Ministry is dedicated to sharing God's love with our senior citizens by sending them positive cards and notes. The cards made in this ministry serve eight assisted-living homes in our community, over 600 cards monthly! We host several card-making events throughout the year.
Many seniors today are living in the community, either independently or with assisted living. Though some have family living close by, many experience loneliness and have few visitors. Receiving a greeting card and knowing that someone is thinking of them and praying for them can be a positive reminder of God’s love.
Additional ways to support us
We are always looking for people willing to sign cards, donate store-purchased cards or donate supplies. Please email us below if you are interested.
