This February, CatholicCare Victoria is launching their 2022 Chaplaincy Appeal. Catholic Chaplains provide a compassionate presence and spiritual care to thousands of Victorians. This Chaplaincy Sunday (13 February), we need your support to ensure our Chaplains can continue their mission. Your support and generosity will enable our chaplainsto continue to help people in hospitals, prisons and youth justice centres, and those living with HIV/AIDS as they go through some of their darkest hours and times of need.
For patients and families, the presence of a Hospital Chaplain offers someone to listen, to speak openly and discuss thoughts and worries, to pray with, to sit silently with and help find a sense of calm, and to provide comfort through times of loss and grief.
To support our Chaplains, donate online. Or donate in your local parish (Archdiocese of Melbourne) on the weekend of 13 February.
