Congregations

CanCare is an interfaith volunteer cancer service rooted in the religious community that enables houses of faith to provide a specialized cancer outreach program to their congregants. CanCare volunteers are people of faith serving as goodwill ambassadors to others in need of CanCare’s services.

CanCare CARE Meetings

The acronym CARE stands for Caring, Accepting, Renewing, and Embracing our partnership with one another. These meetings are between congregation liaisons and CanCare staff to discuss ways on how we can ensure that no one endures cancer alone. If you would like information on becoming a member congregation or offering our services to your members, please call 713.364.1671 or email Kristy at [email protected].

Prayer and Praise Sessions

CanCare hosts weekly Prayer and Praise meetings to pray over concerns and celebrate praise reports. As an interfaith organization, we invite you to please submit any prayer requests to [email protected]. Thank you so much to our Congregation Liaisons for leading these meaningful sessions.
