Spiritual guidance at the hospital
Catholic and protestant spiritual guidance
Providing spiritual guidance on behalf of the Protestant and Catholic Church, we come to the wards to help you in times of trouble. We are concerned about you finding your personal way of dealing with your experiences of illness, suffering and dying, and therefore take your questions on the sense of life, the future, sources of strength and hope, and God seriously. Whatever you confide in us, of course, is subject to secrecy.
Please give us a call or let us know via the ward you are on, if you wish to talk to us or want to receive the sacraments or pray with us.
