• The Anointing of the Sick
  
  By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.

  For More Information contact the Parish Office Staff:
  
  It is extremely important for us to know when a loved one is ill; advise as soon as you can so that we may plan a visit;
  
  We will never be too busy to attend to your call;
  
  Often times family members refrain from calling us to visit their loved ones  waiting until the patient cannot communicate. Please give your loved one the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Communion and the Anointing.
  
  We have dedicated parishioners who are also available to take Holy Communion at home or hospital.
  
  When calling, please give us your loved one's full name and provide for us the name of a contact person. Also, provide us with a clear home address and telephone number or if in the hospital, the name of the hospital and room number.
