Please call the parish office if you or a family member are in need of the anointing of the sick.
As a sacrament, it is one of the ways Jesus assists us in life and offers his divine help. Anointing of the sick is for Catholics who are sick or facing life-threatening situations (such as major surgery or serious medical emergency) as well as those who may be facing imminent death. Because of the notion that calling a priest for this sacrament may mean giving up on a dying loved one, many Catholics wait until too late to call a priest. Doing this risks leaving the dying person without the important graces of this sacrament. If you or a family member are in need of this Sacrament or are unsure of when they should receive this sacrament, please call the parish office.
