The chaplains' purpose is to enable any person in hospital to deal with spiritual and life issues that directly affect their well-being. They believe a person’s well-being (wholeness) is the result of the interaction between their spiritual, mental, social and physical being.

As hospital chaplains, special attention is payed to the spiritual aspect in an endeavour to help each person find wholeness. What the chaplains can offer...

  • Palmerston North Hospital chapel window. Time to listen
  • Confidentiality
  • Help in looking at life issues
  • Friendship
  • Encouragement
  • Guidance with regard to faith sources
  • Prayer and Church Sacraments
  • Room blessings
  • Support for families
  • Support for staff.

The chaplains are available to talk to individuals and groups so you know what they do and how they can support you.

The team is available Monday to Friday 8.00am-6.00pm for patients, family and staff. After hours – emergencies only. Chapel Services are held on Sundays at 10.30am.
