Pastoral Ministries
Hospital Ministry
Jesuits can be found in hospital ministry, on call day and night, to bring the healing presence of Jesus not only to those who are ill, but to the doctors, nurses and staff as well. Fr. George Winchester, SJ, chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital and picture in the photo on the right, calls the hospital "my parish." Read about hospital mininistries in The Hospital is My Parish.
Fr. Jim Shaughnessy, SJ, serves at chaplain at Tufts Medical Center. Read about his work as a priest and chaplain.
Prison Ministry
In prison, Jesuits bring the love of Jesus to men and women who might find it difficult, because of their past, to let the Lord into their hearts and lives. Fr. George Williams, SJ, pictured on the left, reflects, "Late one afternoon, after talking with a man in solitary confinement, I realized that in his face I was seeing Christ's face."
Parish Ministry
Parishes play an important part in the ministry of Jesuits. We staff traditional parishes in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut. Other individually missioned Jesuits find themselves as campus ministers at secular colleges and universities throughout the area and working in parishes on a temporary or permanent basis.

Military Chaplaincy
Still others bring the Lord to all parts of the world through their ministry as military chaplains in times of both war and peace. The service men and women need the nourishment of the sacraments wherever they are, and New England Jesuits are among those providing for them. Read Fr. Keane's story.
