The idea for the Room Blessing ritual practiced at St. Joseph's Health Centre Guelph was derived from a ritual designed by Rev. Dr. Glen R. Horst of Winnipeg, Canada. The following reference to his work was provided to us after completing and writing up our study results: [Horst, G. R. (2001). An evaluation of the pastoral use of ritual after the death of a nursing home resident. Unpublished report submitted as part of doctoral dissertation, University of St. Paul, Minnesota].
