Mercy Spiritual Care - Cape Girardeau

Spiritual Care at Mercy Hospital Southeast

Mercy Spiritual Care helps patients, families and caregivers connect with the spiritual and personal resources needed to heal in mind, body and spirit. Our chaplains honor the dignity, privacy, beliefs and religious practices of all those we serve.

Chaplain Services

Our chaplains are specially trained and certified to meet your religious and spiritual needs, no matter your denomination or affiliation. Knowing each person’s needs are different, we offer individualized services, such as:

• Listening actively to patient and family concerns
• Assisting in times of crisis, with special expertise in trauma response, dementia support, end-of-life decisions, grief support, mental health issues and caregiver support
• Discussing issues such as loss, death, grief, divorce or lifestyle changes
• Offering prayers

Hospital Chapel

Our chapel is located on the first floor of the hospital near the surgical waiting area. It’s open 24/7 and offers a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and meditation. People of all faiths and beliefs are welcome to visit the chapel. 

Chapel Design

The handcrafted art glass windows in our chapel convey a feeling of upward movement as meditations and prayers are offered. The windows spotlight messages of creation, nature, life and the human spirit. Seedpods and fruits symbolize the hope of refreshment and new life. Graceful doves signify peace and the spirit of life.
