Spiritual Care Week is October 18-24, and we are honored to celebrate the chaplains and spiritual care professionals who provide comfort, encouragement, and meaningful connection every day.
At The Summit, we're grateful for Chaplain Jacob Palma, pictured at this year's Vacation Bible Study, a ministry he and our activities team launched in our community that has since inspired similar programs across LifeSpire communities.
Join us in thanking Jacob and all our team members who provide spiritual support! 💙
