Approximately 20 months ago, under Father McKenna's leadership and, in partnership with Rochester Regional Health, St Theodore's started a Hospice Mission. We have recruited and trained seven volunteers who are now training for and providing Hospice service in the Rochester Community. Our mission is to provide deep support to Hospice patients and to their families and loved ones. We also provide support and assistance to all staff (nurses, Doctors, administrators and nursing assistants} who, with great courage, assist Hospice patients to die with dignity and grace.
