Help and support
Whatever problems you may be experiencing, we are here to support you. Sometimes just talking with someone may help.
Help, support and guidance
All meetings with our pastors or diaconal workers are strictly confidential. We respect each person’s religious convictions and worldview on the basis of the freedom of belief. You do not need to be a member of the Church to have an appointment with one of our pastors or diaconal workers.
You are not alone!
Come and tell us about your troubles.
Our pastors offer spiritual and other support such as
- counselling
- spiritual and emotional support
- family and relationships counselling and
- confession.
Our diaconal workers mostly offer socio-economic support such as

- assistance in the integration process.
Note: We have pastors and diaconal workers in hospitals, certain workplaces, prisons, and schools. If you do not know how to contact a pastor, you can ask your nurse, social worker, teacher, or a police officer to help you find one.
