Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Department at St. Francis is committed to fulfilling the spiritual and emotional needs of all of our patients regardless of religious affiliations. Chaplains are also available to support family members.

Catholic patients at St. Francis are offered the opportunity to celebrate the Church's Sacraments of Healing, namely Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Sick, as well daily Communion visits.

Chaplains are available to contact a rabbi, minister, or clergy member of a patient’s faith tradition at their request. Sabbath Hospitality is offered for relatives of our Orthodox Jewish patients, who are unable to travel during the Sabbath.
