Services

Rev. AndreaGrace is both a chaplain for extended families and a resource of Spirit-filled communities. She wonderfully co-create services that are personal and meaningful. 

 

Wait – a chaplain for extended families?! YUP!

 

In the past, people often had a treasured priest, minister or rabbi who knew their family inside and out – witnessed and supported generations through the joys and sorrows – as well as the ordinary days. Today, as families have more interfaith marriages and more people who are not practicing organized religions, we have the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with a new Spirit-filled companion – a chaplain for extended families. With Rev. AndreaGrace’s rich training and experience, as an intergenerational specialist, Interfaith & Interspiritual Minister and Roman Catholic Woman Priest, Rev. AndreaGrace is beautifully able to tenderly and prayerfully care for all generations throughout this journey we call: LIFE!

​

Rev. AndreaGrace’s collaborates (works together) with individuals and organizations to create a service that meets both their needs and dreams. As an Ordained Interfaith & Interspiritual minister as well as Roman Catholic Woman Priest, Rev. AndreaGrace is skilled at:

 

  • Listening to what her client wants and what has yet to be spoken

  • Gently questioning

  • Clarifying a “theme” for the service

  • Weaving together readings, music, stories about their life, ways to include members of their circle of love – of all ages and abilities – exploring and echoing the “theme”

  • Designing the pace of the service – so attendees are gently brought on a spiritual journey that leaves their souls filled with grace

  • Helping to envision and create a space that is sacred -within a traditional place of worship, in a home, outside in nature, on zoom or elsewhere

  • Creating a comprehensive “script” that has all the information for and elements of the service, 

  • Inviting the client to review and edit the service

  • Crafting and delivering a reflection or homily that supports the client and reinforces the theme, one that inspires, challenges, informs, encourages and leaves people hope-filled

  • Blessings at Showers, Baby Baptisms and Blessings (including for miscarriages and stillbirth babies)
