Pastoral Care
The St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island Pastoral
Care Team, at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, gives daily witness
to the faithful love God has for all people.
Concern for the human and spiritual dignity of each person
is at the heart of the Catholic Health Care Apostolate.
Here for Patients
The pastoral care team comes to pray with patients. We also
sit and visit, or just listen. It is our goal to help patients
in their relationships with others and with God. Our role
is to support, comfort, console in times of pain and to be
a loving presence for the seriously ill and those passing
from death to New Life.
Here for Families
The pastoral care team is ready to stand with family members
in fragile moments of decision making, to pray with family
members and to help with the grieving process. We work to
reconcile alienated family members and to create an atmosphere
where feelings of love, affirmation, truth, fear, grief and
anxiety can be openly expressed.
Here for Staff
Who will heal the healer? The pastoral care team prays daily
for hospital staff members as they live the gospel mandate
"to heal the broken hearted." We serve as comfort
to care-givers suffering from fatigue, stress or burnout,
and help with conflicts between professional positions and
personal involvements. Finally, we are partners in the difficult
search for meaning in life, suffering and death.
