Overview
|
Individuals are
occasionally challenged during their lives and may sometimes seek additional perspectives
& guidance to their problems. We want each Parishioner to look first to his/her Priest
for guidance and direction, but on occasion, the Priest may determine that additional,
external assistance may be useful for the person in need. |
|
Our Goal
|
Our long range goal is to have a
professional counselor be part of St. Paul’s staff. This person would provide a
consistent Orthodox Christian perspective to those he or she may be assisting. Until such
a time that we add this person, we’ll be expanding our programs to draw in local
professionals. |
