Day seven: Meet Lynsey-Ruth McDonagh

Meet Lynsey-Ruth McDonaghLynsey-Ruth is training to be an LLM while serving as a chaplain in a nursing home. 

"'Serving as a chaplain in a nursing home is a huge privilege – being there for the residents, nurturing their faith in the twilight of their lives.'" 

Lynsey-Ruth’s story is one of gentle presence and deep care, reminding us that ministry often happens in quiet, sacred spaces. 

"Ever since I stepped into chaplaincy, it’s felt just right – a natural fit. Like a pair of comfy slippers but with some stones thrown in for good measure!"
