Our chaplains offer a caring presence to patients, families, visitors, prisoners, and staff during times of illness, loss, uncertainty, or change. As part of ecumenical chaplaincy teams in hospitals and prisons, they provide emotional, spiritual, and pastoral support to people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Catholic prison chaplaincy has been part of our story for generations. Today, a Catholic chaplain serves in every New Zealand public prison, bringing hope, dignity, and human connection to those who need it most.
