Last August 30, 2023, the First Batch of Formation on Guidelines for the Celebration of Sacraments and Sacramentals in a Hospital Community was held at the Felix Huertas Hall of Chapel of St. Lazarus, DOH Compound, Sta. Cruz, Manila. Initially given to 5 Hospitals under DOH (San Lazaro Hospital, Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center, Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Tondo Medical Center and Ospital Ng Tondo).
This formation is a product of shared experiences and collaborative effort of all Chaplains and Chaplaincy Ministers in the Archdiocese of Manila. With an attempt to come up with Standard Operating Guidelines in the area of celebrating the sacraments and sacramentals in the hospital.
We would like to acknowledge the Chapel of St. Lazarus community, Fr. Raul Belludo and staff, the San Lazaro Hospital through Engr. Aida Calma, SLH Chief Administrative Officer,
for their continuous support. Special thanks to the participating hospitals for sending representatives for this significant event.
