The Pastorate of the Visitation hosts the St. Dymphna Mental Health Ministry for prayer, gathering and conversation. Named for St. Dymphna—the patron saint of mental health—it’s an opportunity for anyone with mental illness, and/or those who love them, to gather together for prayer in a caring and listening atmosphere, followed by casual conversation over light refreshments, in a relaxed environment free of pressure, personal questions, or therapeutic advice.

Our Prayer Gatherings are held on a bi-monthly basis at alternating locations: St. Jane Frances and Our Lady of the Chesapeake. Please look for the details for our next Prayer Gathering in the bulletin or contact the ministry through email at SDMHM515@gmail.com
