Anointing of the Sick

     The Sacrament of the Sick is given to us by Christ to strengthen us in body and soul when we experience the affects of serious illness. Generally speaking, those who are advanced in age, (75 and above), those facing major surgery, those with a terminal illness, or those facing life-threatening situations may request the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. One may be anointed again each month for the same illness or immediately in danger of death.

    Families with a member who is dying should notify the priest and make arrangements for the Sacrament to be administered. In special cases, this Sacrament can bring great peace and comfort to those entering the final stage of life.

     Call the rectory, day or night in any emergency.
