Ipswich Hospital: Ipswich Hospital Catholic Chaplaincy will now be covered by Fr. Bineesh John, assisted by Deacon Clive Brooks. Please be aware that for reasons of patient confidentiality, the current practice in the NHS is NOT to inform the chaplains of any Catholics that are admitted to hospital. So, unless you or your relatives inform the chaplains of your hospital stay yourselves, you will not be visited by a priest or any other member of the chaplaincy team. Fr. Paul and Fr Bineesh can be contacted on 01473 684963
Please check with the Ward Clerk that the patient is registered as a Catholic and that the patient has ticked the box giving their permission for a priest or a member of the Chaplaincy team to visit.
Please let Fr Paul know of anyone who is ill at home or homebound, so that they can receive appropriate pastoral care.
MASS INTENTIONS If you cannot get to the church (or even if you can) and would like to have a Mass celebrated for your intention please go to 'Mass Intentions' page and do it online.
Spiritual Communion
For those occasions when we can't be in our churches, an act of Spiritual Communion can help us keep Christ at the centre of our lives as we worship and pray at home.
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
