Health and Hospital Ministries
Sharing Christ's Love
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Mt 11:28-30)
The Office for Health and Hospital Ministries coordinates the service of chaplains in hospitals and care facilities within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
