The Parish Nurse ministry at Prince of Peace helps to care for one another by attaining, maintaining and regaining the best possible whole person's wellness of body, mind and spirit.  The role of the Parish Nurse is a health counselor, referral source, and an advocate for an individual.  The Parish Nurse is a blend of professional nursing and spiritual caregiving.  The Parish Nurse visits members at the church and in their homes or care facilities.

Mary Hume was commissioned as the first Parish Nurse of Prince of Peace in July, 1999.

Each year on June 27, people recognize National Sunglasses Day, a reminder of the importance of protecting our eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. Caring for our health is one way we honor the gift of life that God has given us. Our eyes allow us to see the beauty of God’s creation—the bright summer skies, fields in bloom, and the faces of those we love.

Wearing sunglasses that block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is a simple but meaningful way to care for the bodies God has entrusted to us. Just as Scripture reminds us that our bodies are gifts from God, we are called to be good stewards of our health and well-being.

Remember to wear your sunglasses every day when you go outdoors and encouraging others to do the same. By protecting our vision, we can continue to see and appreciate the many blessings God places before us each day. 😎🌞
