In Times of Need, The Church is Here
St. George’s is very intentional about supporting and caring for those who are unable to attend church. Fr. Norm is available for home communion and hospital and home visits.
Additionally, trained and licensed St. George’s Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEVs) offer regular Sunday and midweek communion at several assisted living residences in the area, including: the Covington (Aliso Viejo); the Regency (Laguna Woods); and Freedom Village (Lake Forest).
Home communion at the Rossmoor Towers: A group of residents of Rossmoor Towers in Laguna Woods gathers the third Thursday of each month for a service of home communion, followed by lunch.
The best of pastoral care is experienced through involvement in long-term, committed relationships via one of the many small group ministries available at St. George’s.
For after-hours pastoral emergencies, call the church, at: 949-837-4530 and leave a message for either of the clergy. Messages are checked regularly.
