Pastoral Visits
If you or a relative or friend would like Fr Andrew or Deacon Stephen to visit you at home, please contact the parish office.
Providing that it is safe to do so, Father Andrew will always see parishioners in the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, other care settings, their own homes or St Mary’s Presbytery if they are seriously ill, or due to be admitted to hospital, and would like to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick.
He is also happy to visit anyone who requests a pastoral visit from a priets for any other reason.
You should not wait until someone’s death is imminent before contacting Father Andrew, lest there be hurt or embarrassment because he is simply unable to visit someone who is sick or dying in good time.
If you or a relative are in hospital, please ask a nurse to ask switchboard to contact the Catholic chaplain; if you or a relative are in other care settings, please ask a member of staff to contact the parish office (01472 342301; office@holytrinitygci.uk); if you or a relative are at home, please contact the parish office.
Going into Hospital/Housebound
If you know of someone in Hospital, Nursing Home, ill at home, changing Ward or being discharged please contact the Parish Office. This is one way of making sure that that the Patient will receive a visit from the Catholic Chaplain. Also, be assured if you tell the staff caring for you/relative that you wish to see a Catholic Chaplain they always make contact with us, and so we can respond.
