Our Ministry
Our chaplains are all professionals trained in Clinical Pastoral Education, with many decades of experience between us. We minister to the residents and patients of different senior care facilities in Greenwich, CT.
For some, we provide worship and liturgy. With others, we have earnest conversations about what is happening to them, what it means, and what is most important now. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we pray, and sometimes we simply sit with someone, bearing witness to what they are experiencing. People have told us that the most important thing we do is show up, without an agenda, and pay attention.
Mostly operating at The Nathaniel Witherell, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Greenwich, our chaplains are fully integrated into the healthcare team. We work closeley with other care team professionals, the residents, patients, and their loved ones, to provide thoughtful and meaningful spiritual care.
We have an active volunteer presence at Greenwich Woods and The Greens senior residences. We also coordinate with community clergy and volunteers who bring prayer and sacramental ministries to the facilities, as well as deepen community connections.
Greenwich Chaplaincy Services is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 06-6104975).
