Anointing of the Sick

Image:

“By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.”

Catechism of the Catholic Church no. 1499

Contact the parish.

If the patient is in the hospital, Chester Hospitals’ Chaplaincy: Tel 01244 364543, answer phone available

If you or someone you know, is housebound or in hospital, the priest can give the Anointing of the Sick in the hospital, hospice, residential home or at home. Please contact either church office.

Chaplaincy Services: Countess of Chester Hospital 01244 365000

The Chaplaincy Department has four Chaplains from different Christian Denominations, with around 50 volunteers who visit the wards and help to bring patients along to services in the Spiritual Care Centre.

The Chaplain’s role is to help cater for the spiritual, religious, and pastoral needs of patients, relatives and staff. Chaplains are on call 24/7 so please contact us if we can help in any way. There is a Catholic Chaplain and volunteers who bring Holy Communion to patients on the wards. Please ask the nursing staff to inform the hospital chaplain of the patient’s needs.
