Archdiocese of Sevilla capellanes meet with Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses met with hospital chaplains of the Archdiocese of Seville on October 24 to discuss the challenges of palliative care. The meeting included a presentation by Ángel Coello, a doctor from the Hospital de la Santa Caridad, regarding palliative care.

The archbishop described the pastoral of health as a priority for the archdiocese and a work of mercy. He noted the difficulty of providing care for chronic and terminal patients once they leave the hospital. He asked chaplains to use delicacy and care in their words when accompanying those who suffer.

Alberto Talavera, the diocesan delegate for Pastoral de la Salud, said that hospital chaplains and agents of Pastoral de la Salud operate in mission territory where they are needed and heard.
