Mission

practice of nursing so that people can achieve wholeness in,
with, and through the community of faith in which Parish Nurses serve.

of their congregations and in so doing

Nurses committing to serve as Parish Nurses are required to possess a strong foundation in their chosen faith, be a part of a faith community and be licensed in the state where they practice.

The specialized training program is designed to strengthen their ability to function as the hands and feet of our Lord.
