To insure that each Brother receives the care and encouragement needed to help live out his vocation effectively and happily, some Brothers are called upon to be Pastoral Care Coordinators for Brothers within their geographical orbit. Each Brother so charged must know the Brothers in his area on a personal level including the quality of life the Brothers are experiencing in the physical, communal, spiritual and ministerial dimensions and to assess the Brother’s connectedness with the Congregation. Among the efforts that time and energy allow are: encouraging participation in Congregation related activity, keeping abreast of health problems or ministry concerns, encouraging the making of annual retreats and keeping leadership aware of news and concerns.

Recognizing that caregivers need care and support themselves, Xaverian leadership sponsored a meeting in Towson, Maryland, to help Coordinators increase their knowledge and prepare for future challenges. Doctor Christopher Kearney and Brother Arthur Caliman, CFX, Vice President, Bon Secour of MD Foundation, provided a very clear presentation, supported by the video, entitled "What Would We Want?", dealing with critical care decisions and support for families of the ill person. Helpful reading material was forwarded to those attending prior to the meeting to enable informed participation. Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and Hard Choices for Loving People by Hank Dunn provided considerable relevant content. Brother Richard Mazza, CFX, General Councilor and Director of Pastoral Care, organized and administered the conference and provided the members with a packet entitled Xaverian Brothers: Retirement Living Options, containing guidelines in appraising needs and living situations which may best address those needs.
