St. Ignatius Loyola Parish has a communal commitment to Goldwater Hospital for the chronically ill on Roosevelt Island. Trained volunteers assist with pastoral care in conjunction with the Office of Chaplains. Students in both St. Ignatius Grammar School and the IREP program also participate in the outreach to Goldwater in keeping with their ages and abilities.
In addition, volunteers are trained for pastoral visiting to the homebound, and nursing homes. Continuing support for volunteers takes place on a monthly basis.
