Spiritual Support

As part of the »Ê¹Ú¶ÄÇò Saint Paul Medical Center health care team, we are dedicated to serving you by assisting you with your spiritual needs. Pastoral Care staff visit many of the patients at »Ê¹Ú¶ÄÇò Saint Paul Medical Center. Although the Pastoral Care team is comprised of priests and sisters, we are here to serve all regardless of denomination.

In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of »Ê¹Ú¶ÄÇò HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest care and love, in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
