"Bear one another's burden and
fulfill the law of Christ" STEPHEN MINISTRY see: StephenMinistries.org website OMOS participates in a national program of one-to--one caring called Stephen Ministry which offers pastoral care for people experincing times of stress. The program prepares individuals to minister as spiritual / pastoral care-givers who can "walk with" those in need during times of distress. Persons interested in becoming a Stephen Minister complete a 50-hour of formation program and are then commissioned to represent the parish and minister to those in need.
