Anglicare SA and chaplaincyChaplaincy at Anglicare focuses on
pastoral care and spirituality, as well as the
development of links between Anglicare sites and
programs and local Anglican (and other) parishes and
schools. Pastoral Care is available to paid staff and volunteers through the role of Peter Burke (pictured, right) the Coordinator of Chaplaincy and Parish Community Work. This includes support for individuals and teams as they face the daily challenges of supporting others. Pastoral Care is available to the residents and staff of our aged care sites through locally based Chaplains, including Marian Giles at All Hallows Westbourne Park, Neil Mathieson at Canterbury Close and Dutton Court, and Graeme Caskey at St Laurence’s Grange. These chaplains are supported by volunteers who also provide pastoral care. Spirituality includes the
regular conduct of liturgical services on a regular (at
least weekly) basis at the abovementioned aged care
sites, as well as at Ian George Court, Brompton and the
Chapel of St Barnabas, North Adelaide (pictured,
right). The Annual Service for Anglicare is held
near the date of the establishment of the Orphan Home in
early July 1860. A monthly prayer calendar has also been developed as a way of encouraging staff, volunteers and supporters to uphold the daily work of Anglicare through prayer (See link below for this publication). Opportunities for reflection on the wider meanings of the work of Anglicare are also arranged from time to time. There is also a focus on Parish Development in Anglicare Chaplaincy, with the aim of developing mutually beneficial links between parishes, schools and the work of Anglicare sites and programs. There are already direct parish links with a number of Anglicare services, such as the Elizabeth Mission (Family Centre North) and Holy Cross, Elizabeth; The Old Rectory and St John’s, Salisbury; The Magdalene Centre and St Mary Magdalene’s Moore Street, St John’s Halifax Street and the Cathedral Church of St Peter; and Family Centre South and St Hillary’s Morphett Vale. Beyond this is a much wider network
of connection between Anglicare, parishes and schools.
Further links in the delivery of services and the
pastoral care of paid staff and volunteers are being
explored through the work of the Coordinator of
Chaplaincy and Parish Community Work.
