PROVIDING SPIRITUAL COMPANIONSHIP

Mental Health Ministry

The role of a mental health ministry team is to provide spiritual companionship, to listen and enter into relationships; provide spiritual and practical support and resources; and provide educational opportunities for mental health awareness to the parish and community.

Mental health ministry is not about solving someone’s problems, but rather listening and accompanying individuals on their journey.

Check out the resources for help.

“Whoever suffers mental illness always bears God’s image and likeness, and has an inalienable right to be considered a person and treated as such.”

– St. Pope John Paul II
