Visits to the Sick
Catholic Chaplains are assigned to hospitals to administer the Sacraments within the particular institutions. Because of changes in hospital admitting policies, it is necessary to inform the Rectory when a parishioner is admitted to the hospital and would like a visit from one of the parish priests or deacons.
