ABOUT AIDS PASTORAL CARE NETWORK
The AIDS Pastoral Care Network is an interfaith agency whose primary mission
is to provide direct pastoral care to those affected by HIV/AIDS. These
services include one-to-one pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats,
bereavement support (individual and group), Camp Getaway (a summer camp for
families with one or more HIV-infected members), church-based educational
seminars, and public and private liturgical events. APCN is the
co-sponsoring agency, along with the Department of Children and Family
Services, of the "Project First Love" retreats, which provide HIV-infected
parents an opportunity to begin future care planning in a supportive
setting.
