Meet Chaplain
Lizzie Snowsill
“We are more than body, brain and breath. Our physiology is what we are made of but it’s not all of who we are. My role is to help people who want to regain some holistic balance of who they are."
- Lizzie Snowsill
With 13 years of experience as a chaplain, Lizzie serves at Wairarapa Hospital, offering compassionate spiritual and pastoral care to patients, whānau, and staff. As an ordained Anglican minister, she finds deep fulfillment in providing a space for spiritual nourishment and helping people navigate profound life questions.
Lizzie believes that providing pastoral support in a setting that many find challenging is especially important. She values and respects the diversity of faith, belief, and ethnicity, ensuring that everyone feels heard and supported.
Lizzie's work requires perseverance, a sustained presence, and an open heart—qualities that allow her to meet people wherever they are on their journey.
One of the many lives she has touched is that of a man who, after losing his wife and son in a tragic accident, found new hope and purpose through his church community. Now an active landscape gardener, his story is a testament to the power of connection and healing.
Lizzie wishes more people understood the inclusivity of chaplaincy—it's all about working alongside religious and cultural groups throughout the region, regardless of their faith background.
“I encourage everyone to 'gossip the good news' about the impact chaplains can have, ensuring that those in need receive the care and recognition they deserve."
For Lizzie, being a chaplain is a profound privilege—walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments, offering hope, comfort, and a reminder that they are not alone.
