Worship

The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the hospital chapel in a small private prayer room on the left hand side when you go in the chapel. Mass is celebrated every Monday in the chapel at 5:15pm to which everyone is welcome.

Requests for prayer

There is a prayer request book placed on the table to the left hand side of the doors as you go into the main chapel. This book is a place where requests for prayers for yourself or family and friends can be placed. During Mass these intentions are prayed for, the intentions are also prayed for during the Ecumenical Prayer Meeting on Mondays in the chapel. There are also a number of people who pray for those mentioned in the prayer request book. If you are unable to go to the chapel, one of the chaplains or volunteer visitors will be happy to enter your prayer in the book for you.

Bibles

There are a number of copies of the New Testament and Psalms provided on each ward for your use, courtesy of the Gideons. Please ask one of the ward staff if you are interested in borrowing one of these bibles.
