Pastoral Care in Sacramental Ministry:

How do you create connections between those in your pastoral care and God’s presence to encourage healing, growth and change? How do you accompany those in your care in their journey through life’s difficult seasons through sacramental ministry? As a licensed local pastor you have responded to God’s call to serve those parishioners, visitors and communities placed in your care, join us for a Day of Learning (insert other title as needed) to discover how to:

• Examine pastoral care through sacramental ministry
• Begin to develop your own theology of pastoral care
• Discern the pastoral care needs of those entrusted to your care

Pastoral care requires you to explore and integrate ahead of time your own sense of self, faith, belief, method, and practice, in order to be ready to respond with openness and caring to the needs of others.
