KNITTED PRAYERS OF HEALING
The St. Boniface Prayer Shawl Ministry has prayer shawls (for both men and women), lap blankets and chemo caps that have been knitted with continual prayers for their recipients and blessed by our clergy. These "knitted works of love" are for those in need of prayerful healing. If you or someone you know might find comfort from one of these items, please contactMeg Larrabee (941-923-2062) to make arrangements for the delivery of one of these items.

THE HEALING MISSION
The Healing Mission is a place of quiet prayer and healing. The primary work of the Mission volunteers is to be in the presence of God with a visitor, who comes seeking healing in body, mind or spirit.

HEALING MINISTRIES
Through our active and diverse healing ministries at Saint Boniface we reach out to those in difficult times, emotionally or spiritually, and to those who are home- or hospital-bound. We welcome your involvement! See the ministries and groups below. For personal contact information, consult your parish directory.
EUCHARISTIC VISITORS
Our EVs are parishioners who are charged at the altar at the end of Sunday services, and receive the small black boxes which contain the sacrament. These trained and licensed volunteers carry the sacrament to parishioners who are in the hospital or at home, and are otherwise unable to receive communion at church. Eucharistic Visitors ensure that, "We who are many are one body because we all share one bread, one cup." Contact Nikki Seger at (941)349-5616 x313 or via email.
FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE This pastoral and wellness ministry centers on promoting wholeness of body, mind and spirit. The philosophy of the Faith Community Nurse is rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition and historic practice of professional nursing, and is consistent with the basic assumptions of many faiths: we care for self and others as an expression of God’s love. It is a new specialty, not a new concept. Read more here.

LABYRINTH
The Labyrinth in our Main Courtyard is a gift of the parish to the community. Many find it healing or centering to walk this circuitous path as a form of meditation, prayer or reflection. A guide sheet is available at the entrance. Read more.
PASTORAL CARE TEAM
Our Pastoral Care Team Visitors regularly visit parishioners who are homebound or in the hospital. Their visits keep these parishioners connected with our parish community, and keep staff aware of pastoral concerns. Strict confidentiality is maintained. The volunteers meet for supervision/ education. Call Nikki Seger (941-349-5616 x313) or via email.
