The parish supports its members and others in different situations in life. Contact the parish office, 044 751 4423 or turku@ort.fi, and your matter will be directed to the right person.
In need of conversation
With a priest you can always confidentially discuss issues of both spiritual and everyday life, for example life management, well-being, unemployment, addiction, family life or loneliness. Conversational support is free of charge, and the priest can guide you to other kinds of professional support if necessary.
When illness strikes
If an illness prevents you from participating in Communion at church, you can ask the parish about the possibility of the sacrament of confession and the Eucharist at home. Seriously ill people can ask a priest to serve the anointing of the sick at church, at home, in a hospital or in a nursing facility. Relatives can also contact the parish on behalf of the ill person.
When a relative passes away
The death of a loved one affects one deeply. Each person encounters and processes grief in their own way and at their own pace, but the journey does not have to be made alone. Sharing the grief with another person can help in moving forward.
In the case of financial troubles
The parish gives out, for example, Christmas food baskets to local families in need. In addition, breakfast and meal events are organised at the parish house from time to time, and you are always welcome to the church coffee. If you are in need of help, tell the parish about your situation. If your need for help recurs, the parish can support you in sorting out your overall situation and finding long-term solutions.
