If you or a family member wish to be anointed, please contact the parish office.

Anointing of the sick is a very powerful Sacrament! The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness. If you are sick, or going to have surgery, please consider calling the parish office and setting up a time with the priest to get anointed.

Does a person have to be dying to receive this sacrament? No.

The Catechism says, “The anointing of the sick is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived” (CCC 1514).
