In the HOSPITAL
Extraordinary Ministers from St. John the Evangelist distribute the Holy Eucharist on a daily basis to Catholic patients of North Collier Hospital. It is our mission to bring spiritual strength, healing grace and peace to our patients through the power of the Eucharist. Through visitation and prayer we help our patients to experience spirituality and faith by discovering the power of our Lord.
