If you have a loved one in a hospital.
And the patient or the family would like prayers; the following will help.
Many hospitals no longer share lists with visiting Chaplains.
Patients are asked on admission if they are Episcopal, Catholic, or Lutheran, but that information is not always shared beyond the facility staff. What works best is for the patient or the family to call their clergy person. You can ask the facilities, Spiritual Directors or Social Services to contact your clergy.
If you do not know your clergy person's contact number, please call the Diocesan Office.
If it is after hours, please leave the information on our voicemail, and we will contact someone on your behalf.
The Diocesan Office number is 605-494-2020.
