This essential formation resource is a newly updated edition of the original authored in 1991 by Sister Juliana Casey, a member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe, Mich. Food for the Journey offers the story of Catholic health care as a sacrament of Christ’s healing mercy in our day. It provides leaders with insights into the relationship of the health care ministry of the Catholic Church, the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the social teaching of the Church and health care for those persons who are poor and vulnerable by way of tangible examples and easy to understand theological concepts.

While the text of the 2013 edition of Food for the Journey remains the same as the original, the look has been updated. It is now available in several formats (see below) with the audio books being narrated by Sr. Juliana.

A set of 5 note cards featuring the chapter cover images in the CHA resource, Food for the Journey: Theological Foundations of Catholic Healthcare Ministry are available here.
