The Mission of The Health and Wellness Ministry at Most Precious Blood Church is guided by a Christ-centered vision which is inclusive of all parishioners. It is based on the understanding that all people are an integrated whole consisting of body, mind and spirit. We utilize the services of knowledgeable spiritually-directed health professionals to support and promote the health and wellness of our parish community.
