Health Committee
The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Health Committee works to promote physical, spiritual, and psychological well being of parishioners. 
Our Health committee provides the following services:
- Blood Pressure Screening after Masses on the first weekend of the month. Blood Pressure screenings are usually held in the Parish Center during Hospitality Sundays.
- Educational Material is available in the literature racks located in the lobby of the Parish Center.
Our Parish Nurse Program is a specialized practice of professional nursing that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit as part of the process of promoting wholistic health and preventing or minimizing illness in a parish. The Parish Nurse "understands health to be a dynamic process, which embodies the spiritual, psychological, physical, and social dimensions of the person." The Parish Nurse is "a friend in healthcare, who can help parishioners of all ages understand their health conditions and medications, and navigate the health system. The Parish Nurse works in the following ways:
- Counselor - Discussing health issues and problems with individuals making home, hospital, and nursing home visits as needed.
- Advocate - Works with the parishioner, faith community, and primary health resource to provide what is in the best interest of the parishioner from a whole person perspective, to enable individuals and families to have their questions, concerns and fears alleviated. Adovate may include organizing and finding facilitators for groups interested in health issues of body, mind, or spirit.
- Referral Agent/Liaison - Referrals are provided to other church/diocesan resources as well as resources in the community at large.
- Educator - Promotes an atmosphere where individuals of all ages, through a variety of educational activities, explore the relationship between values, attitudes, lifestyle, faith, and health.
Hospital Visits / Anointing of the Sick: We are happy to visit parishioners when they are in the hospital. Most hospitals comply by a new privacy code and will not call individual churches unless a patient or family member specifically requests notification. Please contact the Parish office at 314-524-0500, a member of our Pastoral Team will be happy to visit. Fr. Rosy or Fr. John will administer the Sacrament of the Sick to a parishioner in the home, in a nursing home/assisted living facility, or hospice facility. After business hours and on weekends, please contact the Rectory at 314-522-0275.
Eucharistic Ministers to the Homebound and/or Recuperating: Volunteers bring Eucharist to parishioners in their homes, nursing home facilities, assisted living facilities, and hospice facilities. Contact the Parish Center at 314-524-0500.
