The mission and ministry of Catholic healthcare was the subject of Archbishop Murphy’s address at St. Francis Community Hospital in Federal Way, WA. All Catholic healthcare organizations share one unique trait – a respect and reverence for the gift of life. Pastoral care is also a fundamental element of Catholic healthcare. It serves as a recognition that the human person is a composite of body and spirit. “We believe that Catholic healthcare ministry provides a unique affirmation of the dignity of the human person.” said Archbishop Murphy.
