A conversation with St. Luke’s Chaplain Sabrina Roblin

 

When people are admitted to the hospital due to a health crisis, emergency, or procedure, it can be a stressful and scary time for the patient and their loved ones. At St. Luke’s in Ketchum, we are fortunate to have our own parishioner, Sabrina Roblin, serve as Chaplain. 


In her role, Sabrina provides emotional and spiritual support to patients, families, and medical staff. She offers a comforting presence during crises, guides and educates about the grief journey, assists with end-of-life decisions, and offers prayers to those who wish to receive them.


Come learn more about the role of chaplains and Sabrina’s journey to this important ministry. She will also share some helpful suggestions about what to say, and what not to say, when someone is going through a difficult time.

August 29 - Summer Parish Gathering

Summer in the Wood River Valley is full of activity, making it all the more important to pause and spend time with one another. Join us for one of our favorite St. Thomas traditions as we gather at the beautiful home of David and Sherri Luhr for an evening of food, fellowship, laughter, and connection.


Whether you've been part of St. Thomas for decades or just started worshiping with us, this gathering is for you. It's a chance to catch up with old friends, meet new faces, share stories, and strengthen the relationships that make our parish such a caring and vibrant community. While we gather together each Sunday, sharing time around the table reminds us that church is more than a place we worship—it's a family that supports, encourages, and walks alongside one another through every season of life.


All are welcome, so come as you are, bring your appetite, and enjoy a relaxed summer evening with your St. Thomas family. We hope you'll join us—and please don't forget to RSVP so we can be sure there's plenty of food and seating for everyone!


Time: 4:30-7:30
