Chaplaincy Service

BACK
  

Facing a life-threatening illness can be an anxious and stressful time whether you have a strong religious faith or not. The Chaplaincy service is here to help support patients and relatives through this difficult time by offering a friendly listening ear and whatever appropriate spiritual or religious care is required, all in strict coinfidence. The diagnosis of life-threatening illness often raises all sorts of questions, such as questions about life, death, faith, God, the afterlife, future plans and provisions.

The Chaplain is available and willing to spend time with both patients and their relatives to help them work through such questions and whatever fears or anxieties they may have.

Representatives from other religious communities are warmly welcomed. There is also a small chapel at Michael Sobell House for the benefit of patients and their families.
