About
The Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament of Christ’s healing and strength, given to those suffering from illness or infirmity. Through prayer, anointing with oil, and the laying on of hands by a priest, the sick receive God’s grace for healing, peace, and spiritual renewal.
A new illness or a worsening of health enables a person to receive the sacrament a further time. For emergencies, please call the parish office.
“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.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church 1499
