Anointing of the Sick

The Church celebrates the healing grace of God in this sacrament with us when we face illnesses of mind or body, when we are preparing for surgery, or when we are near death.  The anointing assures us and our loved ones of Christ's presence with us during a time of pain and suffering.  It holds out for us the hope promised in baptism that God is a God of life and that eternal life is the ultimate gift of healing.

Our Parish, Priests, Deacons and/or pastoral care members will be happy to make hospital, hospice, nursing home, home visits, and arrange regular communion visits to our parishioners. We can also arrange a Priest visit for anointing of the sick. The hospitals DO NOT usually notify us of admittances, so please call to make sure we have been informed so visits may be made.
