Spiritual Care

Healing the Whole Person, Body, Mind and Spirit.

The chaplains at St. Peter’s Health Partners represent a wide array of religious, spiritual and cultural backgrounds. As a key part of your interdisciplinary healthcare team, they spend time with patients and their loved ones to provide spiritual support for people of all religions or no religion with compassion and understanding during your hospital stay.

Liturgical Schedules/Spiritual Care Practices

We offer several spiritual and religious services throughout St. Peter's Health Partners. Religious services take place in chapels across SPHP at various locations each week. All are broadcast on closed-circuit TV to patient rooms and other areas.
