Anointing of the Sick

Through the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, we pray for the spiritual and physical healing of members of our community.  Whenever a Catholic is seriously ill from and emotional, mental or physical ailment, hospitalized, or preparing for surgery, a priest should be notified so this sacrament can be celebrated.  Like all sacraments, this is a communal event; family and friends are encouraged to participate.  Persons who are over 65 are welcome to receive this sacrament at reasonable intervals even when no specific ailment is present.
