# The Chapel and the Quiet Room at Torbay Hospital
The Chapel and the Quiet Room provide essential spiritual and contemplative spaces within Torbay Hospital's Blue Zone, near Oncology. These sanctuaries recognise that patients, families and staff often need places of peace during medical treatment and challenging times.
The Chapel serves those seeking a traditional Christian environment for quiet reflection and prayer. Daily weekday prayers begin at 9am, whilst Sunday communion services run at 10am. Roman Catholic Mass is offered every Friday at 9:15am. The facility welcomes visitors of all faiths and none.
The adjacent Quiet Room caters to those preferring a secular space without religious iconography. It houses an extensive collection of Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim religious texts and scriptures, making it genuinely inclusive. Friday prayers for the Muslim community are regularly held here.
What distinguishes this service is its round-the-clock availability and genuine interfaith approach. Rather than segregating different beliefs, both spaces operate complementarily within the hospital environment. The monthly prayer plan specifically remembers hospital staff and patients requesting spiritual support, demonstrating how these facilities integrate meaningfully into patient care.
Throughout the year, special services commemorate religious festivals and significant occasions, from Christmas Carol Services to memorial events for staff members. This comprehensive approach acknowledges diverse spiritual needs whilst maintaining a hospital-wide community focus. Both spaces remain accessible 24 hours daily, ensuring support is available whenever patients and families need it most.
