The Anglican Church provides a ministry of pastoral care to Institutions in St. John's. Patients will receive a visit from a Chaplain who represents the Church and is available to serve you.

The Church provides a ministry of healing through Holy Communion, Holy Unction (anointing with oil) and the Laying
on of Hands with Prayer.

Holy Communion is celebrated in the chapel (see below for time). If a patient cannot attend or wants communion at other times, the Chaplain or a Eucharistic Minister will come to their bedside; if communion before surgery if desired, please contact the Chaplain.

Anointing with oil is an age-old way to signify a blessing from God. It can also be used in times of sickness. In this service, oil (already blessed by the Bishop) is put on the forehead. See BCP, page 584 and BAS, page 554. Any patient who desires this ministration may ask the Chaplain.

The Sacraments of Confession and Anointing are available at the patient's bedside. Please ask the Chaplain or have a nurse make the request.

The Laying on of Hands and Prayer are the usual means of requesting the help of God and obtaining a blessing. The Chaplain prays with patients when appropriate or desired.

There should be a New Testament in the bedside table. If there is not, please ask for one. Prayer books can be borrowed.

The Chaplain visits regularly and will contact patients shortly after admission. If you specially want to contact the Chaplain, ask a staff person to make contact for you.

An Anglican Chaplain is available twenty-four (24) hours every day, seven (7) days a week.

There are a number of trained lay volunteer visitors who visit under the direction of the Chaplains.

Funds for the Anglican Chaplaincy are provided by the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador through the assessments to parishes and by donations directly to the Diocese, 19 King's Bridge Road, St. John's, NL A1C 3K4.
