Hospital Chaplaincy includes Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch Women’s Hospital, The Princess Margaret Hospital and Hillmorton Hospital.
Hospital Chaplaincy is primarily there to ensure that people have the opportunity to receive the sacraments and pastoral care. It is also seen as an expression of the care of the church for those in need in terms of health.
The presence of the chaplaincy team is a source of inspiration and solace to people when they are unwell. They are also a support for the relatives and staff of the hospital.

The Christchurch Diocese employs chaplains at Christchurch Men’s Prison, Rolleston Prison and Christchurch Women’s Prison.
Chaplains carry out a wide variety of tasks. In the prisons they provide for the spiritual needs of people, provide pastoral care and lead bible studies. They provide church services – ecumenical mainly – but also Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Word with Holy Communion. They support prisoners’ families. In the community they liaise with organisations on behalf of inmates about to be released, as well as being involved with public speaking and community education.
