Chaplain

A chaplain is a trained professional, who provides spiritual, emotional, and psychosocial support in secular or religious institutions, serving people of any faith or no faith. The term chaplaincy can refer to the chapel, facility, or department in which one or more chaplains carry out their role, as well as to the profession itself. The name originates from Martin of Tours, who gave his cappellanu cloak to a veteran in need during a snowstorm.
