Pennsylvania Council of Churches

 

As part of its mission statement to "share this Good News with our neighbors in word and in deed," the Pennsylvania Council of Churches reaches out to our neighbors who are residents of state facilities such as mental hospitals, mental retardation centers, youth correctional facilities and veterans'  homes. People and patients who live in these facilities often do not have easy access to a home church or pastor.

Working through contracts with the state of Pennsylvania, the Council of Churches contracts with chaplains to work in these facilities. Our chaplains serve in the following facilities:
