The Pastoral Care Project - General

The Pastoral Care Project Team has considerable experience and resources in which to assist parishes and individuals, care homes and schools. Many of our resources are drawn from experiences since 1994 when the Project first began its pioneering work with the frail elderly - visiting their families, at home or in care settings and responding to their needs.

The Pastoral Care Project was also contacted by parishes and deaneries wishing to set up their own specific projects. We are indebted to them all, and have learned so much from working with them – we regard them as companions in our ongoing charitable work.

Spirituality and Prayer

The Pastoral Care Project team has experience in leading Ignatian retreats and times of prayer and is willing to help wherever we can, please contact Frances Molloy Project Manager to discuss in more detail. 
Weekend retreats or Days of Prayer and Reflection for groups or parishes available on request.

Catholic Today Monthly Column

The Pastoral Care Project is honoured to have been given the opportunity to write a monthly column in Catholic Today newspaper.  This column gives us the opportunity to share our experience over the last twenty five years and so help raise awareness about our mission and the dignity of the frail elderly.  Hopefully it will encourage individuals in parishes and within families to share the gospel of joy with one another.  Read our monthly column below.
