Helena Hospice

This is an occasion for us to rejoice in the great gift we have received from God, the gift of Jesus Christ, but it is also an occasion for us to reaffirm our commitment to care for our brothers and sisters and to pray to be renewed by the Holy Spirit, so that we might serve them with greater integrity and generosity.
It is in this spirit that Helena Hospice has been established at Holy Spirit Home - as a gift to the community and an acknowledgement of the sacredness of life at every stage and condition.

As with all aspects of the Home, an atmosphere of caring, friendliness and simplicity prevails at the Hospice, as will our mission to enhance the lives of people through our Christian culture and quality care and services.

Message from the Holy Spirit Sisters in the Great Jubilee year of 2000.
