A parish nurse ministers to the members of a faith community. Working collaboratively within the community of faith, the nurse may function in one or all of the following roles: • Health educator. • Personal health counselor. • Health advocate. • Referral agent. • Community liaison. • Coordinator of volunteers. • Integrator of faith and health. • Developer of support groups. Why Marian? Marian’s Parish Nurse Program prepares nurses for a ministry integrating spirituality, health and wholeness within their communities. The program facilitates: • Personal understanding of spirituality, health, wholeness, ministry and community. • A deeper understanding of one’s personal spirituality. • An awareness of the dynamic spiritual dimension of the parish nurse ministry. • A review of the nursing process for individuals, families and communities as it applies to a parish nurse ministry. • Exploration of the roles and implementation of a parish nurse ministry.
