Spiritual care
Spiritual Direction | Prayer Ministry
Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry embrace a variety of spiritual ministries such as praying with and for others, and complementing pastoral care teams in hospitals, hospice and long-term care facilities.
Spiritual guidance and support
Some Sisters also provide spiritual companionship as mentors and spiritual guidance by offering a place for people to talk and share life's journey and relationship with God, and providing experiences to enhance one's physical well-being and wholeness.
Other Sisters provide support to individuals, families and staff facing such difficult situations as declining health, emergency trauma, confinement and end-of-life situations.
Retreat Ministry
Two Sisters currently are actively involved in retreat ministry. One Sister is a member of the retreat team at Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center in West Hartford who facilitates workshops during weekend retreats at the center. Another directs spiritual retreats at various sites around New England and beyond. Read about her work in this blog.
