Mother Teresa Ministry

The Mother Teresa Hospital Ministry visits and comforts those in the Richardson Methodist Medical Center by sharing the Catholic faith and bringing the Eucharist twice weekly to those who desire it. Patients from St. Joseph Parish who are in other hospitals will be visited if the Church is notified. 

Ministry of Care Training, commissioning as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, and yearly Safety Environment renewal are required for membership. The Medical Center also has specific requirements in order to become an official hospital volunteer. Ongoing training provides details of how to best minister to patients and promotes personal spiritual growth. 

Patients in The Remington Rehabilitation Center are also visited weekly by Mother Teresa ministers.

A monthly schedule is sent to active members. Meetings are held as needed two to three times a year. Monthly hospital Pastoral Care meetings are also available. Individual training is done on a one-on-one basis as new volunteers join the ministry.
