Dimensions of Pastoral Care |
PASTORAL CARE
What do we mean by pastoral care?
The reality is that Pastoral Care is a complex and multi-faceted reality. It touches every aspect of the life of the College and is the responsibility of everyone, without exception.
It is interesting to look at the lists that are in some of the books about pastoral care just to gain some sort of appreciation of the breadth of what we are talking about and how all inclusive the concept of pastoral care is.
