Expanding the reach of chaplaincy without pulling on the purse strings is on every director’s mind. Engaging volunteers whether lay or clergy can be the answer; however for this approach to work, effective volunteers need to have a baseline training on rules of the game. The onus is upon you to develop this training.

“I am going to be running a volunteer pastoral care training program. I love Chaplaincy Care Volunteer Training Manual. It’s clear. It’s succinct. It’s a fabulous manual. We service a wide variety of faiths, so this is perfect.”

“I am using the manual in the Summer iteration of Josephinum Diaconate Institute’s Health Care Ministry course in which 26 deacons / deacon aspirants enrolled. The manual has received uniformly excellent comments, both as a fine initial resource and as a welcome affirmation / further amplification of their individual health care institutions training.”
