Pastoral Care

The Chapel provides a quiet place for prayer and reflection. It is located on the second floor, lobby level of the main hospital. Mass is offered in the Chapel at 12:30 p.m., Sunday through Friday.

St. John’s chaplains are available around the clock to minister to patients and their families. Chaplains can offer support, prayer, counseling, scripture and sacraments. They can also contact your own clergy person.

Church service schedules for many denominations in the downtown area are available at the Information Desk in the main lobby.
