History and Mission
Our Mission
Raising awareness of the spiritual needs of the frail elderly -
enabling carers to support them in their journey to the fullness of life.
We are inspired by the Gospel of Luke 4.18-19
The spirit of the Lord is upon me
because he has anointed me;
He has sent me to bring good news to the poor,
to proclaim release for prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind;
to free the broken-hearted
and to proclaim the Lord's year of favour.
History
The Pastoral Care Project is a Christian organisation which pioneered pastoral care and ministry in care settings and in the community since 1994 and in 2002 achieved charitable status.
Working with many Christian ecumenical partners since 1994 we have raised awareness and produced resources to help alleviate the isolation felt by those suffering with dementia, as well as providing information and support enabling their carers to support them in the last part of their journey to the fullness of life.
The Pastoral Care Project is rooted in Christian Spirituality and its ethos of working together with Clergy and Lay People was gained through Frances Molloy's training as a team leader in the 'Light out of Darkness' Spirituality Retreat Programme by the late Sr Kathleen O’Sulllivan SSL.
Sr Kathleen’s love of God, and her sense of joy as well as her own awareness of the struggles of humanity inspired Frances and in turn Sr Kathleen recognised Frances' gift and invited her onto the retreat team. This charism of sharing and enabling individuals rediscover their friendship with God continues today. Sr Kathleen was an inspirational leader until her going home to the Lord on 25th July 2007.
