Pastoral care

Ascension St. Vincent's chaplains are trained to help patients and their families make important medical and life decisions. They provide:

  • Assistance to area clergy as they come to the hospital seeking to minister to their parishioners.
  • Assistance in meeting religious needs such as prayer, communion, anointing, baptism, confession, spiritual literature/scripture, support groups, and referral to other disciplines.
  • Assistance in meeting spiritual needs stemming from anxiety, grief, shame, suffering, fear, anger, faith problems, hope, and life meaning.
  • Spiritual care within: visitation, spiritual presence, support for families as loved-ones approach end-of-life, and the care of the dying.

How to contact us

Whether you are a medical center patient, a family member, or friend, you are always just moments away from services provided by Ascension St. Vincent's pastoral care team. Here's how you can reach us:

  • Tell your nurse or healthcare associate that you wish to see a chaplain, priest, minister, or your local clergy.
  • Call the Pastoral Care Office directly at 904-308-2800 - or just x2800 from within the campus.
  • Call Ascension St. Vincent's switchboard at 904-308-7300 and ask for pastoral care.

Office hours

The Pastoral Care Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office is located on the second floor of the Dillon Building at our Riverside campus.

Though the office may be closed, a chaplain is on location at the medical center as early as 6 a.m. and into the evening. A Roman Catholic priest is available 24/7 for emergency spiritual crisis and the Sacrament of Anointing. The department also has 21 dedicated Eucharistic ministers who bring communion to the Catholic patients on a regular basis.
