It is also very helpful if you let Fr Colin know. He is always happy to contact the relevant chaplaincy on your behalf, and it is good to know that you are in the prayers of your priest and parish community. It also helps to ensure that we can minister to you when you are discharged, especially if you are not able to get to Mass for a while.
We are very blessed in the Catholic chaplains both at Burton and at the Leicester hospitals. I hear many glowing reports of their ministry.
I have recently received the following very helpful information from the Catholic Chaplains at the Leicestershire Hospitals:
If you are a Catholic, and you and your
family member or friend is in a Leicester

For
non-urgent requests or for further information you can email us:
Ask a nurse
If you or
your loved one is a patient , in urgent need, you can ask a nurse on the ward
to get switchboard to contact the Catholic priest serving your hospital site.
