Spiritual guidance at hospitals

Often, an inpatient stay at a hospital is a significant biographical caesura for the patient. Pulled out of their familiar surroundings and being in an unstable condition, they experience feelings such as helplessness, insecurity and fear. At the same time, however, the stay includes a chance, namely the chance of meditating over life, or time and eternity. All these thoughts are usually accompanied by hope as well as fear; and in order to not leave our patients alone with them, they can talk to protestant pastors and catholic priests in private at our hospital. Further to spiritual guidance, the Holy Communion as well as the sacraments are administered. The hospital's chapels are open during the day in both houses for reflection and prayer. Please look up information on service times on our notice board. If you wish to contact Sister Elisabeth at St Anna, call the general office (phone +49.6433.870).

Contact persons for the catholic spiritual guidance at St Vincenz are Sister Arngard Steffen ADJC and Father Josef Da Via SAC (phone +49.6431.292-4642). You can reach Father Da Via on his private number +49.6431.292-4645 beyond office hours.

Contact persons for the protestant spiritual guidance at St Vincenz: Woman pastor Gabriele Goebel and deacon Gunter Wetzel (phone +49.6431.292-4641, with answering machine). They can be contacted via reception in urgent cases (91).
