Airport Chaplaincy: A Catholic Handbook

Airport Chaplaincy: A Catholic Handbook (2011) is produced and published by The National Conference of Catholic Airport Chaplains. The handbook offers a comprehensive vision of the mission and ministry of Catholic airport chaplaincies. It also indicates the structural and organizational requirements for those who want to begin a chaplaincy or who want to review a ministry that is already in place. Finally, the handbook outlines the spirituality that undergirds the ministry of the chaplaincy itself and of those who serve within it. This book directly addresses the concerns of those who want to engage in airport ministry or who have already been involved in it. A wider audience may also find this book very helpful. Those who are searching for different models of ministry can use the handbook as a point of departure. Airport chaplaincies provide many of the services traditionally associated with parishes. Unlike parish ministry, however, ministry in airports goes to meet people in their lives, when they travel and encounter each other and where they work (airline personnel, airport workers, and safety and security personnel). The handbook can help all those in pastoral ministry imagine new possibilities for carrying out their mission.
