Kimberly Petrillo, Parish Nurse
 |
| St. Ann's Shrine, Waterbury |
What is a parish nurse? A parish nurse promotes health for the whole person. Parish nurses act as health educators, personal health counselors, health advocates. We practice nursing on an independent level and help people to integrate faith and wellness. A parish nurse attempts to meet the health care needs of all people, encompassing the need of physical, emotional and spiritual well being.
Kim has been a parish nurse for several years and has touched many lives. She was recently invited by Fr. Jeremiah Murasso into ministry as a parish nurse in Blessed Sacrament Parish and St. Ann's Shrine in Waterbury. She is a blessing from God, going forth with courage to touch many souls in need of healing.
