Anointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick. This sacrament can be received by anyone who is seriously ill, awaiting surgery, or under special medical care. It is no longer just for those who are dying. We can be anointed whenever we experience redemptive suffering for the sake of the gospel. So, please contact the Parish Office concerning your reception of this consoling sacrament.

Anointing and Confession. When you come to Confession at our church, you may also request to receive the Anointing of the Sick as well. Please remember to ask the priest about this sacrament when you come to Confession. Our parish will also schedule communal anointing services in church from time to time as well. Please watch the bulletin for details.

Medical Privacy. Because of the laws regaring medical privacy issues, hospitals and other healthcare institutions cannot inform us about your admission into their facilities.  So, please contact the Parish Office, or have a member of your family do so for you, when you are admitted into a hospital or a healthcare facility, so that we can come and visit you.

The Ultimate Cure. Our resurrection with Christ on the last day is the ultimate cure for all that ails us. In our glorified state, there will no longer be any pain or suffering, but only joy and happiness. Whether our prayers bring any temporary healings or not, the more that we are conformed to the sufferings of Christ, the more we will share in his victory at the end of time. Our human story has a happy ending in Christ!
