In England the offices of hereditary grand almoner and high almoner still exist, as part of the Queen's Household. |
The almoner, says one custumal, should remember that from his office might be derived great spiritual gain. |
The papal almoner was inspired by a conversation he had with a homeless man named Franco, according to a report on the Vatican Insider website. |
The same applies to visits by an almoner, as well as to your spiritual adviser. |
The almoner visits patients regularly every day and is available at all times in case of an emergency. |
An almoner and a group of volunteers are available to offer moral support, administer the sacraments or provide counselling. |
