Chaplaincy

St. John’s hospital has been rendering quality health care with love to the sick and the suffering with a view to making them fully alive. This includes the medical well as the spiritual assistance. The spiritual care that has been given to the patients by committed spiritual fathers over the past five decades now stands organized and systematized in a better way in order to cater the emerging needs.

This department of chaplaincy is constituted of one resident priest. It also includes two resident sisters who are trained in counseling and spiritual direction. The department of chaplaincy plans and coordinates all the spiritual care and ministries to the patients in the hospital. The Healthcare Chaplain, an integral member of the healthcare team, makes daily rounds and is available 24-hours a day to provide pastoral care for patient’s bystanders, family and staff. The Chaplain is available twenty-four hours to provide objective crisis intervention and competent spiritual support.
