Nursing Home
Secular Franciscan Warren Thomas serves as Ascension Parish's pastoral representative at the New Jewish Home, where he serves as the Catholic lay chaplain ministering to nursing home residents and rehab patients.
Founded in 1847, The New Jewish Home is a long term care and short term rehab skilled nursing facility located at 120 West 106th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. In addition to providing pastoral care to residents and patients, Warren works with Ascension's clergy and pastoral staff in providing other liturgical and sacramental services.
The Sacrament of the Annointing of the Sick is provided upon request and a bilingual Mass is celebrated at the facility on the first Friday of the month except during the summer months. contact info: wthomas@jewishhome.org
