Introductions Cappellania - Ospedale BN

Cappellania is an innovative app designed to spiritually support patients, family members, healthcare workers, and anyone seeking religious support at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Benevento. Created to bring the spiritual life of the hospital community closer and more accessible, Cappellania is a simple and always-available tool for living out one's faith, even in times of fragility, care, and service.

The Cappellania app primarily offers a prayer request service: anyone can submit an intention, a thought, or a name to be entrusted to the hospital chaplains for their daily prayers. This allows patients and staff to feel accompanied by a living and tangible spiritual presence. Thanks to Cappellania, the community can remain united in prayer even when it is not possible to physically participate in services.

Another key section of Cappellania is dedicated to the common prayers of the Christian tradition: Our Father, Hail Mary, Rosary, Angelus, Act of Contrition, and many others. In addition to these, the app also collects the hospital community's special prayers, texts drawn from the daily life of the Order of the Brothers of St. Benedict, which express the spirituality of caring for and embracing the pain and hope of the patient.

Chaplaincy also includes the Liturgy of the Hours, allowing clergy, healthcare workers, and patients to pray together the official rhythm of the Church: Lauds, Midday Prayer, Vespers, and Compline. This feature makes Chaplaincy an ideal tool for maintaining a continuous presence of prayer within the hospital, even on wards and during work shifts.

The app also offers the day's readings and a daily reflection: a short spiritual commentary that helps begin the day with a word of comfort and guidance. With Chaplaincy, the Gospel thus becomes a constant companion during hours of care and service.

An additional space is dedicated to the hymnbook, useful for celebrations, liturgical animation, and community moments. Thanks to Chaplaincy, the hymns can be easily consulted by the choir, clergy, and the faithful.

In short, Cappellania aims to be much more than an app: it is a close presence, a helping hand, a place of prayer and hope in the heart of the Sacred Heart Hospital of Benevento. With Cappellania, faith becomes accessible anytime, anywhere, to everyone.
