Hospital Chaplain

The Catholic Chaplain, with our priests, provide spiritual and emotional support to meet the needs of Catholic patients hospitalised at Taranaki Base Hospital. It is important that patients state their religion on admission to assist the chaplain identify them. Albert also works in conjunction with the Ecumenical Chaplain who is responsible for patients of other faiths.

Both Chaplains are assisted in this role by volunteers of whom a number are Catholic.
