|a This research is framed by the New Testament which posits that pastoral care of the sick and the dying is a fundamental duty of Christians. This research establishes that the theology for such ministry is rooted in Jesus’s ministry, Church tradition, and Council of Trent/Vatican II contributions. The qualitative research includes focus groups, case studies, surveys, and interviews in addressing the widening gap between sacramental ministry and pastoral ministry. Four reasons for a widening gap surfaced: (1) a majority of parish members not directly involved in such pastoral care in medical realms, (2) an increase in aging members, (3) an increase in membership, and (4) a declining priest population. The research focuses on (1) the effort to close the widening gap, (2) the potential for volunteerism, (3) the implementation of Second Vatican Council guidance, and (4) protocols that allow pastoral care. |
