Anointing of the Sick

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to those who have encountered a serious illness that is threatening to them. The sacrament gives the supernatural grace first to resist the final temptation to despair our Lord’s mercy, but it also gives healing of the soul of venial sins and sometimes even healing of the body.
 
 The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is available upon request, and it is celebrated communally each first Saturday of the month after the 8:30 am Mass.
 
 If you know of someone who is sick and is unable to leave home or the hospital, please let your priest know, because we make it a priority to visit those who are sick and dying.
 
 If someone is close to death, please call the parish office and use the emergency priest line to inform a priest as quickly as possible, even if it is the middle of the night. Every Catholic should be able, if possible, to receive all of the graces the Church has to offer in the final moments of life.
