Celebrating the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick

This Sacrament is regularly celebrated twice during the year at all of the Sunday Masses during the two designated weekends. (Once in late Spring, and once in the middle of the Fall Season.)  Many have referred to this Sacrament as “The Last Rites.” Please note that the Sacrament is called “The Anointing of the Sick.” 

Spiritual help is available to those who become sick or are preparing for surgery by calling for a visit of your pastor or his designate.  Please call the Parish Office when someone is ill or in the hospital and request the Anointing of the Sick. Please remember that our prayers are for healing and recuperation of the sick person, who is in need of healing.

Too often, a person who is sick does not call the pastor to let him know that they need him to visit or to bring communion and/or to celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.  Please do not hesitate to let your pastor know that you are in need of prayer and anointing, and/or Communion to be brought anytime and even regularly on weekends until your health is regained.
