Calvary Mater Newcastle

Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care personnel attempt to visit each patient during his/her time at the hospital to provide emotional and spiritual support.   Priority is given to those who are dying and those who are emotionally distressed or fragile.  They also provide support to families, friends, carers and staff.

For those patients whose tradition values Sacramental Care, Holy Communion, Anointing of the Sick, and Reconciliation are readily available.  Arrangements can be made through the Pastoral Care staff.

Please ask a member of staff to make contact with Pastoral Care. Telephone: 4921 1211

Calvary Mater Newcastle values the religious and cultural needs of those for whom we care.  Religious representatives of all faiths are welcome to visit patients from their community of faith.  Each major Christian denomination has an appointed Chaplain to the hospital.  All are available to visit as requested.

Chapels for quiet reflection and prayer are located in the hospital adjacent to the Information Desk on level 2, south block and the hospice chapel for use by patients, families, visitors and staff.
