This Sacrament is also called the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. If anyone in your family is experiencing difficulty with their health or is anticipating undergoing surgery in the near future, it would be appropriate for them to receive this Sacrament. Those who are extremely frail due to old age would also be encouraged to receive this Sacrament. Usually an opportunity to confess your sins is also offered prior to the anointing.

Viaticum , or Holy Communion, can be brought to our homebound or hospitalized parishioners. Please notify the parish Office Manager so that arrangements can be made with a priest, deacon or member of the Healing Ministry.
