Can Catholic hospitals continue to serve the poor?

ST. LOUIS (RNS) In 1836, several French nuns established hospitals and schools here and in California. Today, an effort is afoot to keep the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange alive.

At the Aquinas Institute of Theology, a small Roman Catholic graduate school next to St. Louis University, doctors, administrators, and health care leaders take courses on Bible interpretation; Jesus, church and the healing ministry; and the foundations of morality.
