Spiritual Care Department Administration
Spiritual Care Department Resources (separate page)
A good strategic plan can help your department thrive – by Jennifer Paquette (Vision, July/August 2016)

Partners in Pastoral Care
Since 2016, the NACC along with several other Catholic Ministry Associations and (arch)diocesan representatives have partnered to create national competencies and formation resources for pastoral care ministers who provide spiritual, emotional and sacramental support to the most vulnerable in diverse settings (homes, senior residences, correctional/prisons, health care and others).
On the Partners in Pastoral Care page you will find Resources for archdiocese, diocese, diaconal formation and ministry leaders, including:

  • Competencies for Criminal Justice Ministry Pastoral Care
  • Competencies for Diocesan Pastoral Care for the Sick, the Homebound and Older Adults
  • Competencies for Elder Pastoral Care
  • Permanent Deacon Pastoral Care Competencies
  • The Pastoral Care Project Booklet (Templates in Formation)
  • Further resources on racism

    The Impact of Professional Spiritual Care has been co-authored and co-published by the five associations* to provide you the most current expressions of and research on the profession of chaplaincy and spiritual care in the United States and Canada in a very accessible and readable format so that you can utilize the materials for yourself, and for your staffs, associates, and executives to explain and advocate for our profession. Read it here: The Impact of Professional Spiritual Care.

    *The five associations are ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care & Education, Association of Professional Chaplains, Canadian Association for Spiritual Care/Association canadienne de soins spirituels, National Association of Catholic Chaplains, and Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains
