CatholicCare Companions

CatholicCare Companions accompany people as they navigate some of life’s big transitions and challenges. Our trained volunteer companions are supported to walk alongside people who have been in prison, are terminally ill or have been in a hospital or care unit, acknowledging that these are times when the presence of another person who cares and truly listens is vitally important.

Connect with someone you can trust and who will listen to you.

Be with someone who will walk a new path with you.

Belong to a nurturing community that will help to make growth and change possible.
