Spiritual Care Visitor Training Program
Do you have a passion for helping others? Do you feel like you want to make a difference by being present to someone who is going through a transition on their life's journey? Bishop Anderson House is offering our Spiritual Care Visitor Training program beginning on Saturday, August 21, 2021.

The program starts with virtual retreat sessions held on Zoom Saturday, August 21 – 10:00a-12:00p and 1:30p-3:00p; Saturday, August 28 – 3:00p-5:00p / All Central Time. Attendance at all three is mandatory.

You will continue the self-paced program by taking seven online modules covering a variety of topics, completing two verbatims and providing two hours of spiritual care weekly at the direction of your faith community leader. Please see our website for further details on the program.

Perhaps you know of someone who might be called to deepen their spiritual care skills--if so, please forward this information on to them!

All applications are due no later than Monday, August 10. If you have any questions, please contact Kim Lessner, Registrar, at 312-563-4825.

We want to thank all who have given unselfishly of their time in the development of this program to ensure it is culturally sensitive to the Latinx community. We have finalized the curriculum and are working on identifying the presenters. We plan to offer this as an in person training opportunity this fall. Please watch for updates on the program availability. And our deepest thanks to the United Thank Offering and their generous grant that is underwriting this initiative.
