These pages were last updated on August 13th 2010 During the service we remember by name babies who have died. Those present are invited to light a candle in memory of their loved one. The service is organised by Walsall Hospitals NHS Trust's Chaplaincy Department. All are very welcome to attend. If you would like further information or you would like a name mentioned but are unable to attend, please ring the Chaplaincy Office on 01922 656216 by Friday 3 September.
We are supported by volunteers, and represent the following faiths:
We are there to share your concerns or celebrate your joys, and pray with you if you wish. We can visit you on your ward or unit. We can also arrange for you to attend a service or prayers in our hospital Chapel and Prayer Room.
Nursing staff can supply you with Holy Books or Prayer Mats as these are available on each ward.
