The Trust chaplaincy cares for the spiritual, pastoral and religious needs of patients, visitors and staff of all faiths and of no particular faith. Your faith and religious/cultural needs will be respected at all times.

The Chapel is always open to people of all faiths. We are based at St Luke's Chapel, opposite Ward 1, at Trafford General Hospital.

Chaplains

The chaplaincy is currently made up of Anglican (CE), Roman Catholic and Free Church Chaplains but can also access representatives of other faiths should you wish. A Chaplain is available 24 hours a day.

Reverend Christopher Brown - Church of England
Reverend Stuart Smith - Free Church
Sister Dolores Cooney - Roman Catholic
