Chaplaincies

Catholic Chaplaincies

The diocese supports chaplains who deliver pastoral care at hospitals, prisons and detention facilities, military bases, the airport and port.

A group of healthcare workers and a chaplain stands in a hospital corridor, all wearing masks and identification badges. The healthcare workers wear a variety of scrubs with different patterns, and the chaplain is in a black shirt with clerical collar.
