𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘪 is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, silver, or platinum lacquer. Rather than hiding the cracks, 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘪 highlights them — transforming what was once broken into something more beautiful and valuable. When applied to the heart and spiritual care, this image becomes deeply meaningful.

Just as 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘪 turns cracks into art with veins of gold, chaplains and spiritual care providers help others discover strength, beauty, and meaning through life’s wounds.

This week is Pastoral Care Week!

This year’s theme is Healing through Presence and Grace. Join us as we honor the sacred work of chaplains and spiritual care providers — those who walk beside the brokenhearted and offer healing — not by fixing, but by being present.

It was a wonderful opportunity to gather with educators, strengthen partnerships, and host a breakfast for our Catholic CECs and CPE Educators. We deeply value our collaboration with ACPE and our shared commitment to supporting the formation and growth of spiritual care professionals.

Could I be required to testify about a patient visit in a court proceeding? Are my chart notes confidential? How can I be an advocate for patients? Join us October 15 for the Professional Webinar, The Law: Promoting Justice and Navigating Legal Issues.

We’ll examine challenging legal and ethical questions that chaplains face in daily practice. Particular attention will be given to confidentiality, charting, communication within interdisciplinary teams, mandatory reporting, and how chaplains can promote justice within their ministry settings and broader communities.

Webinar Objectives:
• Essential legal and ethical responsibilities related to confidentiality and documentation
• Situations that may involve liability or mandatory reporting concerns
• The chaplain’s role in advancing justice
