Hospitals and visits to the sick

Home visits for the sick

If you are ill and housebound, or have a relative or friend who is, please contact the Parish Priest, Fr Richard Duffield, who will, if you wish, arrange for one of the clergy to visit. Holy Communion can be brought regularly to those who are ill and housebound in our parish, who are unable to attend Mass.

Going into hospital?

The Oratory looks after Catholic patients at the Radcliffe Infirmary on the Woodstock Road. If you are, or a relative is, going into hospital at the Infirmary, please let us know so that we can visit. If you are going into hospital elsewhere, we can contact the chaplain of that hospital so that he knows to look out for you. This is becoming increasingly important, as some hospitals will not now pass on the names of Catholic patients to the chaplain.
