Chaplaincy & Pastoral Care Service
"We are committed to ensuring that people and their families experience the physical, spiritual, psychological and social care that matters to them." Anne Mills - CEO Hospice Isle of Man
Spiritual care is an integral part of the care that we provide and is offered to patients, families and carers regardless of faith, religion or beliefs.
Our chaplaincy and pastoral care team works closely with faith groups in the community and welcomes representatives of patients' own churches and faiths.
How we can help
Our Pastoral care team can help you to:
- Explore any spiritual, faith, or religious need or desire you may have
- Explore your individual sense of meaning and purpose in life with regard to spiritual need
- Explore attitudes, beliefs, ideas, values and concerns
- Affirm your life and worth, by encouraging you to reminisce about the past or help you to gently address issues that you might want resolved
- Explore your hopes and fears about the present and the future for yourself, your family and friends
We offer a variety of services, such as anointing for wholeness, a service of confession and reconciliation, sacrament of the sick or simple prayer either by the bed or in the chapel. Our team can also assist in organising special occasions such as marriage, blessing, thanksgivings, renewal of vows, baptisms, dedications and confirmations as the need arises.
The team are happy to discuss end of life care with you, and assist you and your family to plan your funeral in the way you wish. We can also liaise with local priests, pastors or humanists.
Our Chapel is open 24 hours a day for anyone to use as a place for peace and quiet, a place to reflect, to light a candle, to request prayer in our prayer book, to pray or just simply sit.
Regular service of Holy Communion is held every Tuesday and a short time of prayer and meditation at 10.30am.
