Clergy health day: ministering to the ministers.

Mercy Hospital, Port Huron, MI, held a Clergy Health Day for ministers from the community. The program, which included components on physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual health of the clergy, was judged helpful by both participants and those persons in the hospital responsible for the program.

Anniversaries and Special Events

Patients often are more receptive to pastoral care during the night hours than during the day. When a chaplain remains in the hospital through the night, he is able to translate his religious calling into concern and love where it is most needed.

Vatican II and pluralism in pastoral care.

The documents of Vatican II imply that the ever increasing plurality of needs in the world and in Catholic health care institutions must be met by plurality in Christian response. Catholic hospitals should welcome onto their pastoral care teams people with diverse credentials and use them to promote the spiritual care of patients--Catholic and non-Catholic. In addition, this pluralistic ministry should extend itself beyond institutional walls toward the social needs of the community.
