Anointing of the Sick

About the Sacrament

This sacrament provides the grace of the Holy Spirit to those who are suffering from illness or old age. It is a source of spiritual healing, peace, and courage to overcome the difficulties of their condition.

Preparation and Requirements

This sacrament of healing is available to anyone facing serious illness, preparing for surgery, or experiencing the effects of old age. Please do not wait until the last moments. Contact the parish office to arrange for a priest to visit at home, in the hospital, or at the church. We also hold a communal Anointing of the Sick Mass twice a year.
