Spiritual & Religious Care Services

The Spiritual and Religious Care Coordinator provides understanding spiritual care and counseling to Residents and their families in a multi faith setting. Residents are encouraged to maintain existing ties with community faith groups. For those who wish to continue to relate to their faith group, community clergy volunteer to conduct regular worship services which are held in either the Worship Centre or Home Auditorium. We welcome Residents to share their faith and to discuss their spiritual needs with us. Pastoral advisors (Minister, Priest, etc.) are most welcome to visit at any time.

The Spiritual and Religious Care Co-ordinator organizes programs to meet the spiritual and religious needs of the Residents in a multi-faith context. Ongoing spiritual support is delivered within a collaborative and ecumenical approach to holistic care.

Several of the local congregations rotate leadership of the interdenominational services worship services held every Wednesday morning in the Auditorium and provide regular celebrations of denominational Communion including Roman Catholic and Protestant. Memorial services are held regularly.

Small group services, individual communion, bible study, special celebrations, palliative spiritual care, bereavement support and grief counselling are also available. Spiritual and Religious Care Volunteers are welcome.

A small non-denominational Sanctuary is available off the main lobby for private quiet time, prayer or meditation or small group spiritual activities.
