Pastoral Care at St. George
The Clara Willman Trust provides funding for our pastoral care ministries. The St. George Vestry elects the Willman Trust Board who oversees the fund. See below for more information. The word “pastoral” refers to shepherding, or tending to the needs of a group—in this case, the parish family of St. George. The imagery of God’s people as the “sheep of His pasture” goes as far back as the Psalms (“The Lord is my shepherd…”) and extends with the apostle Paul reminding us to “keep watch over the flock,” and to “shepherd the Church of God.” Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd,” and it is He who is our inspiration and model for pastoral care. A good shepherd knows his sheep well, nourishes them by leading them to fertile pasture along with the tranquility of still waters, gives them comfort and rest, keeps them in safety, bandages their wounds and washes them clean, and brings lost sheep back into his fold. In the 1980s, Saint George Parishioner Clara Willmann established a living trust for the benefit of St. George to be used for pastoral care ministries. Income from the trust is to be used “in a personally caring way, with the human emotional and physical needs of hurting people.” In the years following Clara’s passing, funds from the Willmann Trust income have been used to help individuals, both in and out of St. George, with health and psychological concerns, marriage counseling, and similar items. Funds are also used to help finance other ministries in San Antonio that provide similar care to hurting people. We show that we care in many ways at St. George. If you feel called to serve in this vital ministry, please contact the clergy. Volunteers and our clergy and staff provide the following:Pastoral Care Director
