COMMUNITY CHAPLAINS
Meet the Ministers for Wilkinsburg Sanctuary Project for Peace
Several ministers in our community serve as Community Chaplains. The Chaplains are on call by our Chief of Police, as well as our Mayor to respond to any incident in the community which has caused serious harm or the loss of life.
This can include a fire, auto accident or shooting incident. The Chaplains are committed to praying at the site where a life has been lost within a few days after the incident. During those prayer vigils, they talk with the neighbors and offer pastoral care to the community.
Look for us at community events in our yellow vests!
Our Community Chaplains are on call to members of the community who need counseling and prayer support. Call 412-906-1179 OR 412- 295-8287.
