This year, National Catholic Health Care Week reflects on our calling as a Catholic health community to be vibrant signs of hope in our world. Through stories, reflections and prayer, the Week encourages us all to explore how we fostering hope and healing in ourselves, our communities and our society: to make life-giving connections, welcome each other in community, foster healing and wellness—body, mind and soul—and find purpose and meaning in our calling and our circumstances.
During National Catholic Health Care Week, we are thankful for the privilege of serving millions of Canadians each day, carrying on our mission to serve all with compassion and humanity. This year’s theme is “Signs of Hope.”
In 2024, National Catholic Health Care Week falls on the week leading into The World Day of the Sick, February 11, a Catholic day of observance established by Pope John Paul II to encourage prayers and reflections for those who are ill and for all those who care for them.
