Community Chaplain Services at Alexian Brothers Health System Mission Integration

About Us

Community Chaplain Services strive to identify needs of the local parish and use the vast resources of the Alexian Brothers Health System to meet these needs. Alexian resources include providing information, leadership training, referrals and building relationships within the community.

Community Chaplain Services specifically attempt to understand the unique needs of each parish and equip parish leadership to become more effective in meeting those needs. Common parish concerns that Community Chaplain Services assists with, include:

• Dealing with mental health issues
• Ministering to older adults
• Stopping domestic violence
• Recovery from addictions
• Grieving from the loss of a loved one

Community referrals, on-site health screenings, staff training and educational programs presented by health professionals are also part of the resources offered to parishes that participate in Community Chaplain Services.

A number of workshops are available to members of the community throughout the year on topics such as grief recovery, conflict resolution, leadership, end-of-life issues and forgiveness.
