Chaplain Services

CHAPLAIN SERVICES AT ST. PAUL’S

St. Paul’s PACE welcomes individuals and families of all religions, beliefs, and spiritual backgrounds. We offer chaplaincy services to provide our participants with inclusive emotional and spiritual support according to their faith preferences.

What is a Chaplain?

By definition, a chaplain is a clergy member who conducts religious services for an institution. Needless to say, they do so much more! At St. Paul’s PACE, our chaplains are icons of compassion, courage, acceptance, empathy, sympathy, inclusiveness, and peace. They accompany participants on their personal journeys and remain fully present to them throughout life’s challenges.

Each PACE site has a chaplain assigned to it. If you’re ever in need of additional support, our chaplains will be right by your side.
