Pastoral Care Ministry Training

The Diocese of Calgary invites those called to serve in healing ministries to join Pastoral Care Training. This program supports new and experienced ministers working with the sick, elderly, dying, homebound, and grieving.

Participants will develop visiting skills, learn to foster a ministry of presence, support individuals in various life stages (end of life, grief, sickness), and enhance empathy and compassion. The training helps create a deeper connection between individuals and their parish.

Notes:

Participants approved by their Pastor or Pastoral Care Coordinator are welcome. Contact your parish for screening requirements.
Be sure to attend the entire course as you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.
