Anointing of the Sick

When the church cares for the sick, it serves Christ himself in the suffering members of his Mystical Body. The church teaches that the anointing of the sick makes a person stronger in body and spirit.

This sacrament is not just for those in danger of death, but for anyone who suffers from serious or chronic physical or emotional illness or who struggles with the infirmities of age. Those scheduled for surgery or hospital stay may request this sacrament prior to entering the hospital. Please call the parish office to make arrangements.

Communion Call
Holy Communion is taken to those who are sick or unable to attend mass. Please call the parish office to arrange a visit.

Hospital Visit
If you are hospitalized, we are available to visit and pray with you during your stay. Please call, or have a family member call the parish office. Nursing home visits may also be arranged.
