he mission of Morningstar Foundation begins when a life threatening condition alters the course of a person’s life. Our ministers support individuals facing serious illness, as well as their families and caregivers, who may be suffering without adequate spiritual and emotional nourishment.

Morningstar Foundation provides compassionate counseling, education and pastoral care. We honor each person’s relationship to the sacred during times of healing, dying and bereavement.

As partners in healing, we offer a network of support services for clients, families and caregivers to find renewed vitality in life:

Dying
As guardians of the threshold, we hold vigil for the dying process and support families and loved ones through the transition.

Bereavement
As allies in grieving, we hold families and loved ones in the process of releasing their suffering and remembering the love that remains.
