Spiritual Support

Being diagnosed with a life limiting illness and learning to live with that illness is always immensely challenging. Even if you don’t have a particular faith or set of beliefs your illness may lead you to ask questions about why this is happening to you. People who are able to talk through these issues often gain a great feeling of support and can find a way to come to terms with their situation.

Our chaplains work under guiding principles and a code of conduct. They offer support to everyone – regardless of belief – and will not seek to convert anyone to a particular faith or creed. They aim to bring you hope and meaning, and approach your spiritual care as an intrinsic part of your overall well-being.

The chaplains at Saint Francis Hospice are from the Christian faith but are more than happy to make contact with representatives from other faiths according to your needs. Your own spiritual or religious leader is welcome to visit you while you are at the hospice and our staff will be pleased to contact them for you.
