The Office of Parish Health Ministry assists individual parishes to establish their own health ministries through the efforts of parish nurses and other volunteers, and may be able to help individuals find resources to medical or social needs that are not easily addressed.

Catholic Charities of Jackson has joined forces with the the Catholic Diocese of Jackson, Catholic Diocese of Memphis, Union University School of Nursing, and St. Dominic Hospital to provide Faith Community Nursing and Health Ministry Training for the parishes in the Jackson Diocese.  The 32-hour course will be taught at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson on August 26-27 and September 9-10.  CEU's for Registered Nurses will awarded.  

Portions of the training are also available for other health professionals or individuals interested in initiating or continuing a health ministry program in their parishes.
