OLW offers a comprehensive Pastoral Care Program to provide for the spiritual, personal and emotional needs of the residents. The facility has a beautiful Chapel reserved for the Spiritual Liturgical program offered. We give special attention in planning the spiritual program so as to include and honor the distinct charism and devotions of each Religious Congregation. Celebrations of Congregations’ patronal feasts and events are an integral part of the daily and yearly activities. Daily Mass is offered at 11:00 am and we welcome residents and friends to join in this daily service. Chaplains and Ministers of other Church affiliated groups are always welcomed to visit with members of their congregations.
