Formation for Ministry Presents: Project Compassion – A Pastoral Care Workshop – Part 2

Listen to what others are saying about Project Compassion:

“The workshop was a great resource for me dealing with a more mature population of our parish. I would recommend it for anyone who has interaction with that Greatest Generation.” – Jackie Adams, Our Lady of Sorrows, Vestal

"The information provided by Project Compassion gave our senior groups and homebound ministers vital knowledge that families need as they cope with end-of-life concerns." - Margaret Ostaszewski, the Linked Parishes of Christ the King & Pope John XXIII, Liverpool

This is the second of two workshops highlighting Project Compassion, an initiative to provide support and resources to those who minister to individuals and families coping with serious illness, end of life moral and medical issues, grieving and loss.

Fr. Vavonese, Director of Project Compassion, will review basic skills needed for pastoral care visits. Dr. Fiacco, Medical Director of Project Compassion, will give an overview of resources available on the Project Compassion website.

You do not need to have been present at the first workshop to attend!
