The reality of health care in our day means that many people spend shorter visits in the hospital. Due to privacy concerns, many clergy and friends are often unaware of a hospitalization, or they'll hear about it after the person has left the hospital.

If you or a family member are planning on being in the hospital, please contact the clergy as soon as possible. If you or family members are in hospital and want to make the clergy aware, please call the parish office. In a life-threatening emergency, call the Priest-in-Residence at home at (617) 864-8387 at any time. Clergy are always available for hospital visits.

Christ Church lists in the Sunday Cycle of Payer those who are sick or in need. If you would like to have your name or the name of another listed, please contact the parish office by phone, or use the web contact form below. On the first Sunday of each month, prayers and anointing for one's self or on behalf of another are offered at the Eucharist.
