HISTORY


The Health Ministry Committee promotes a healthy, educated and open community. Health Ministry helps to identify health care resources in order to encourage proactive health care. The Committee envisions that the St. John Neumann Parish community, as well as the wider community, will become aware of the importance of body, mind and spirit integration.
