Organizations and institutions worldwide will recognize the spiritual needs of those we serve and the spiritual care given through professional chaplaincy and pastoral counseling within our communities.
Regardless of spiritual, religious, or cultural background, Pastoral Care Week celebrates those who provide spiritual support to others. It is supported by the Coalition On Ministry In Specialized Settings Network: The Network on Ministries in Specialized Settings, whose members provide care in specialized settings such as hospitals, prisons, businesses, industries, long-term care facilities, pastoral counseling centers, hospices, military settings, nursing homes, corporations, congregations of sisters, priests and brothers, schools and universities throughout the world.
Many institutions will celebrate Pastoral Care Week by honoring the work and gifts of pastoral/spiritual caregivers locally and internationally, as well as the spiritual needs of those who serve. Among the celebrations are hand-blessing ceremonies for health workers, open houses, poetry jams by clients, lecture series, and luncheons.
Pastoral/Spiritual Care week provides a unique opportunity to both have a conversation to address suffering related to loss and trauma and to seek opportunities for strengthening spiritual resilience amid them.
