Pastoral Care at Breeze Park

Greetings in the name of our Lord!

Welcome to Breeze Park. We have many ways and paths to serve God here. As the Breeze Park chaplain, a large part of my role is to extend our faith through personal relationships with our residents.

Our residents have many ways in which to practice their faith. Led by the pastors of the St. Charles Circuit and open to all residents, families and staff, our Sunday worship is at 3:30 p.m. We also have bus service to several local churches on Sundays. Throughout the week, I lead Bible study classes as do members of the Breeze Park community. We also have regularly scheduled Mass and Rosary as well as weekly communion via the Eucharistic Ministers of S. Joseph-Cottleville.

We are committed to mission outreach at Breeze Park. We are involved in many local needs projects but also participate in the worldwide activities of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, which is open to all the women of Breeze Park and acts as our mission umbrella.

Blessings on your day,
