of Catholic chaplains at Cook County Hospital
Friday, June 07, 2002
Fr. Pennington with Cristina Frederick, Cherie Cordero, and Mark
Vild at Cook County
Fr. John Pennington, SJ, will step down from his post as director
of Catholic chaplains after seven years of service to the low-income
patients of Cook County Hospital in Chicago. The Jesuits —with
the help of current chaplains Frs. Mark Andrews, James Chambers,
Ron Ferguson, Bob Finn, SJ, and their many predecessors— have
gently provided pastoral care for thousands of patients, families
and medical professionals at Cook County for the past 99 years.
In recognition of Fr. Pennington’s years of service and the
Jesuits’ unyielding commitment to the hospital John H. Stroger,
Jr., President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, proclaimed
April 25, 2002, “Father Pennington Day” in all of Cook
County.
Fr.
Eugene Nevins, SJ, has been appointed the new director of catholic
chaplains at Cook County Hospital. He is currently serving as a
chaplain at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati and has previously
worked as a chaplain at both Cook County Hospital and Children’s
Hospital of Michigan.
Eugene Nevins, SJ
