This kind of service requires not only the value of charity on the part of the volunteer, but also theoretical and technical skills that help to shape to volunteer\u2019s approach to each visit. After completing the training, those who choose to become involved as SASMAD\/PHC volunteers agree in writing to follow the Service\u2019s Code of Ethics as presented during the course. A special ceremony is held, generally, with the blessing of a priest, before the beginning of the Mission, recognizing the dedication to the community that is involved in providing spiritual accompaniment on behalf of the Catholic Church of Montreal and as part of the Diocesan service SASMAD\/PHC. A certificate is awarded to each volunteer who completes the training.<\/h3>\n
\nThroughout their involvement, volunteers are members of a team which is supervised by a coordinator. The coordinator answers your questions, supports you, coaches you, and makes sure that your pastoral activities are in accordance with SASMAD\/PHC standards.
