Item Detail
Summary
The PCH’s Multi-Faith Centre on Level 5 provides a calm and welcoming space for time-out, prayer, meditation, quiet reflection and counselling for people of all faiths, spiritual backgrounds and those of no religion. An average of 20 to 25 people use the centre on any given day. The Multi-faith Centre has a collection of sacred texts and symbols from a number of faith traditions. Within the Multi-faith Centre is a book in which patients, staff and families can write prayers or messages. These prayers are remembered and honoured by the Chaplains. A Salat Room (prayer room) provides opportunity to meet the daily worship needs of people of the Islamic tradition. Washing/ Wudu facilities are available with separate male and female prayer areas.
