    • Pastoral Support for People with Mental Illness
      by Deacon Tom and Rita Lambert
      Pastoral Support for People with Mental Illness
      This pamphlet is intended to be a resource to parishes for ministry to people with a major mental illness and their families. Faith communities can be of tremendous help-offering hope, unconditional love, and support to people who often find themselves stigmatized and isolated from the community. People with a mental illness and their families frequently turn first to clergy for answers to this severe crisis in their lives.

We entrust our mission to Our Lady of Lourdes who is the special patroness for healing.
May our Lady guide us so that  those who live with a mental illness know that they are surrounded by her and her Son's healing presence
and remember that they are never alone.
