The Catholic Diocese of Christchurch employs chaplains at Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch Women’s Hospital, The Princess Margaret Hospital and Hillmorton Hospital.

Hospital Chaplaincy is primarily there to ensure that people have the opportunity to receive the sacraments and pastoral care. It is also seen as an expression of the care of the church for those in need in terms of health.

The presence of the chaplaincy team is a source of inspiration and solace to people when they are unwell. They are also a support for the relatives and staff of the hospital.

The Catholic Tertiary Chaplaincy (CTC) are located at Kolbe House on 5 Rountree Street, Ilam.

The CTC team serve the pastoral needs of students throughout their time at the University of Canterbury, Lincoln University and Ara Institute of Canterbury.
The team hope to create an environment where students serve students, fostering third-level students in their Catholic life and forming the future leaders of the Catholic Church. They achieve this by building community, providing sacraments, establishing one-on-one contact that helps build relationships, gathering small groups together led by missionaries and hosting retreats and large events.
