Catholic Health Services of Long Island is sponsoring a spiritual care companion training program for volunteers interested in becoming a CHS Spiritual Care Companion. This free program will offer individuals the required skills necessary for caring and listening to people who are sick or elderly.
The training classes will cover such topics as: goals of ministry to the sick, how to be a good listener, how to respond to crisis and grief and more.
Learn more about sharing your gift of time and presence as a CHS Spiritual Care Companion and help those who are hospitalized, living in a nursing home, or homebound. We are particularly looking for Spanish speaking volunteers also.
