Spiritual and Pastoral Care

At Farleigh Hospice, we understand spiritual and pastoral care to mean giving time and support to explore whatever brings meaning to life.  This includes thoughts, feelings, experiences, questions, beliefs.

We offer:
   support to anyone, regardless of belief or outlook
   time to talk (no subjects off-limits)
   an undertaking not to talk about spirituality or religion, unless requested
   prayer
   sacraments
   reading
help and advice on
   planning services of all kinds
   contacting ministers or representatives of all faiths and beliefs
   accessing cultural needs

  Each week there is a short service held in the Sanctuary at midday, to which all are welcome.  Details of services are available around the hospice sites and on Services in the Sanctuary.  Loved ones can be remembered at anniversaries and special times.

  The Sanctuary is open day and night as a place of peace, reflection and prayer.  There is a book to record your thoughts and prayer requests.
