24 Hour Catholic Health Hotline, a ministry of love
Summary
The Archdiocese of Port of Spain’s Catholic Health Hotline provides a 24-hour spiritual and emotional support service, offering a compassionate safety net for those facing illness, aging, grief, and distress. Designed as a ministry of love, it aims to bring the Church’s love, mercy, and compassion to individuals in need, ensuring that no one faces their darkest moments alone. The hotline offers a wide range of services, including prayer, home and hospital visits, Sacraments like Reconciliation and Holy Communion, and the Anointing of the Sick. Azania Durham, the hotline's administrator, describes it as a "living testament" to the Church's dedication to spiritual care, offering support through prayer, companionship, and the Sacraments at any time.
