A chaplain is useless, but if he weren't there, there would be someone missing to answer the questions you don't ask your boss, the doctor, the psychologist, the social worker, or even the family...
What is the pay of the chaplain?
The Rewards:
Jesus said: "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the world's creation. For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in; I needed clothes, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you looked after me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me."
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“Jesus will reply: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25: 34-40

“Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.” Implicit in this saying is the understanding that the most powerful sermons are often unspoken.
Saint Francis of Assisi says:" Service to the community, affirmation of the unique worth of each person, appreciation for beauty, reverence for all creation, and faith in God.
"At the chaplaincy, our role is to help, not to convert; we will only talk about religion if you ask a question. We preach by our example of good Christians; again, we are not missionaries but chaplains.
