Hospital Procedure – Hospitals no longer feel obliged to ask a patient’s religion and even if they do they will not advise the Roman Catholic chaplain of your presence unless expressly asked to do so.  Make sure that your wish to have a visit from the Roman Catholic chaplain is made known on your admittance.  If you wish the sacraments before a planned admittance to hospital, please let me know. A patient’s religious declaration card is available in the porch.

 

Papal Visit – The document can also be downloaded from www.totalcatholic.com

If you have access to the web there is a rich fund of material which can be used to help prepare for the visit on the following: www.beingcatholic.org; www.scmo.org and the official site at www.thepapalvisit.org.uk.
