Hospital Chaplaincy Notification – On behalf of Rev. Fr J. J. Whitby-Smith  

A reminder as to what to do if you’re in hospital: It’s not always clear what to do if you’re in hospital and want religious care, so here are four key things you need to know:  

1. You need to declare yourself Catholic to the ward staff, and ask them to inform the Hospital Chaplaincy, this will get your name onto the ‘Catholic list’ as it were, which will ensure you are brought Holy Communion on Sunday and your name given to catholic clergy undertaking ward visits. You have to request this yourself through the ward, it can’t be done by your priest or anyone external to the hospital. 

2. If you require non-urgent sacramental care, such as anointing or confession, you should ask your parish priest to visit you. 

3. If someone has no connection to a local parish, or their parish priest is away, please ask the ward to inform the Hospital Chaplaincy of your need, and the chaplaincy will arrange for a catholic priest to visit where possible. 

4. In danger of death the ward will contact the emergency on-call catholic priest via the hospital switchboard and arrange for the final sacraments.
