Hospital Ministry

O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
-- Psalm 30:2

St. Hyacinth supports CHI St. Luke's - Patients Hospital in Pasadena with volunteer Pastoral Care Workers.

Each worker takes at least one 3-hour shift per week to visit with patients and their families of every faith. They pray with patients if asked, but this ministry is more about being a good listener.

Training in hospital pastoral care and hospital policy is provided by St. Luke's-Patients. The Archdiocese also strongly suggests volunteers go through its hospital chaplaincy program. 

Volunteers are also required to be tested for hepatitis yearly; the hospital provides testing.
