\"Caboolture<\/p>\n

The Caboolture Hospital Chapel started from a project led by Mr Martin Jonkers, a Caboolture man and member of the local Rotary Club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Jonkers\u2019 aim was that the Chapel be built to ensure that there would be a quiet place where patients and their families and the hospital staff could go to find comfort in peaceful meditation.<\/p>\n

\"Newspaper\"InteriorChaplains would be available to listen to them and assist them in any way they could.<\/p>\n

In discussion with the Caboolture Hospital executive, it was decided the Chapel would be built with the help of another service club and public subscription.<\/p>\n

The official project launch was held at a grand ball in the Morayfield Community Hall on Friday 11 November 1996, where the plans for the chapel were unveiled.<\/p>\n

Tickets cost $45 a head, which was the start of many drives to raise enough money for the estimated $60,000 needed for the project.<\/p>\n

At the time, Mr Jonkers said: \u201cIt had not come easy as there were times when it seemed that they would never get the money needed for the project but there was a tremendous amount of community interest and with hard work by Rotary Members and government support this wonderful addition to our hospital complex was started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once construction began, the Chapel grew quite quickly and it was completed in 1997.<\/p>\n

\"NewspaperThe furniture, floor coverings and curtains were supplied by the Caboolture Hospital Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

The Chapel was handed over at an opening service and blessing attended by local politicians, church leaders, Chaplains, hospital staff and, of course, Mr and Mrs Martin Jonkers.<\/p>\n

That Christmas, a choir led the singing of carols for staff and patients.<\/p>\n

Chaplains have continued to have a carols service every year since, even Covid-19 couldn\u2019t stop the important celebration!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Chapel Garden began soon after the official opening and eventually a special Memorial Garden was planted, to scatter the ashes of babies lost through early miscarriage with monthly services led by the Chaplains.<\/p>\n

A service at the bedside for these babies was offered by the Chaplains on request and this service is still available on request.<\/p>\n

In later years, the covered courtyard area was completed with the help of funds raised by the Caboolture Hospital Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

This area is used by staff as a quiet place to have lunch or for meditation, as well as for afternoon teas for any special services held
\nin the Chapel.<\/p>\n

This is a multi-faith Chapel, open to all people of faith who may use it for prayer or contemplation.<\/p>\n

\"PortraitThe stained-glass windows represent the Children\u2019s Ward, Maternity Ward, Nurses and Chaplains.<\/p>\n

Chaplains are taught to be non-judgemental listeners willing to walk beside the patients, their families and staff members who need them.<\/p>\n

This Chapel is a wonderful part of our hospital, where people can have joy and celebrate new life, or it can be a place of prayer and contemplation.<\/p>\n

It is a haven for us to grieve in and this is all possible because of the vision of Martin Jonkers and his team 25 years ago.<\/p>\n

Today (26 October), the Chapel will host a special service for Pastoral Care Week. The theme is Chaplaincy and Mental Health.<\/p>\n

Psychiatrist and Caboolture Hospital Head of Mental Health Research Critical Care Research Group Associate Professor Dylan Flaws (right) will speak at the event.<\/p>\n

This service will start at 10am. Everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n
