WHEN YOU ARE HOSPITALIZED.
Please be aware that there are now stricter
legal and ethical guidelines regarding, the dissemination of
patient, information from hospitals to churches and clergy. In
addition. today’s shorter hospital stays make timely pastoral visit
difficult at best. Therefore, if you have occasion to be hospitalized
and desire pastoral support, you or a family member should do
two things. Notify the rectory of the hospitalization as soon as
possible. Also, upon admission to the hospital you will be asked if
you desire to have your religious affiliation noted as part of your
medical record. Please state both your denomination and parish.
If you fail to do either of the above, your parish priest may have
no way of knowing your needs.
!DIACONATE INQUIRY SESSIONS
The Archdiocesan Office of Diaconate Formation is now
preparing to admit a new class of candidates for the Diaconate in

his pastor.
