The Anointing of the Sick

All of the Sacraments are important signs to us of Christ's presence and His desire to be with us continually. The Anointing of the Sick is an important sign of Christ's healing presence: healing of body, mind and soul. Yet it is not being used that much because of the changes within out health care services. As a parish we would like to offer the opportunity to receive the Sacrament.

On the first Sunday of each month, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be offered after all the Masses. Those who have planned surgeries or hospital stays are welcome to receive the Sacrament. We invite family and friends to stay and pray with us. The sign of the Sacrament is the Anointing, but our prayers are an essential part, where by we all benefit in celebrating this Sacrament.
