St. Andrew’s has a new Pastoral Care Line to help when you are faced with a pastoral emergency. When you face an emergency, please call (205) 509-9590 at any time of the day or night. Some examples of an emergency are being near death or in the hospital, having a crisis of faith, experiencing significant loss, or having a mental health crisis. This line is answered at all hours of the day or night. Do not hesitate to call if you or someone you care about is having an emergency or crisis and needs to talk with someone. Should you need immediate medical support or face another crisis that requires professional assistance, always call 9-1-1 first. There are also help lines that specialize in certain crises, such as mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance abuse (listed below.) After contacting one of them, then call the Pastoral Care Line at (205) 509-9590. If you call the Pastoral Care Line regarding an emergency, and no one answers, leave a message and someone will return your call first thing.
