We build on foundations, we did not lay.We warm ourselves at fires, we did not light.We sit in the shade of trees, we did not plant.We drink from wells, we did not dig.We profit from persons, we did not know.
(adapted from Deut. 6:10-12)

“She is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love of life for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a means of locomotion for the infant, knowledge and confidence for the young mother, the mouthpiece for those too weak or withdrawn to speak, and so on.”

Parish nursing is a recognized specialty practice that combines professional nursing and health ministry.
Parish nursing is rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and the historic practice of professional nursing, and is consistent with the basic assumptions of many faiths that we care for self and others as an expression of God's love.

…in collaboration with the pastoral staff and congregants, participates in the ongoing transformation of the faith community into sources of health and healing.
Through partnership with other community health resources, parish nursing fosters new and creative responses to health and wellness concerns.
The parish nurse serves the faith community and advocates with compassion, mercy, and dignity.

In our society, one is often judged by appearance and productivity.
Every human has intrinsic worth. When the elderly lack the attributes that command
dignity for most of secular society, they can derive a sense of value and worth through their connection with God.
