Though Mount Alvernia Hospital is a Catholic Hospital,
the Pastoral Care we give, like all the other services,
is offered to all patients and relatives.
The Pastoral Care Department is staffed
by the Pastoral Care Sisters. You will see us visiting
the wards regularly but feel free to call upon us at
any time.
Chaplains of all denominations are welcome
to visit at the request of patients.

Pastoral Care - A Supportive Ministry
Hospitalization can be a painful experience for
you. During this time, you may ask serious questions
about the meaning of suffering, your values, faith
and God in your life.
The Pastoral Care Sisters are ready to share
your anxieties about yourself, your family or
any concern you may wish to talk about. Our ministry
extends to families, staff and those involved
in the hospital situation. We assure you of our
sincere support and readiness to serve you in
any way we can.
The Hospital Chapel is open to all, between
6.30am to 9.30pm for quiet prayer. |
