Sacrament & Ministry to the Sick and Elderly

Sacrament & Ministry to the Sick and Elderly

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick (formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction) is a ritual of healing that is appropriate for physical sickness, as well as mental and/or spiritual sickness. This sacrament of healing expresses the love of God and our Church for our sick, shut-ins, and elderly unable to come to Church. Whether at home or in the hospital, please inform the rectory of your needs or those of a family member.

If you or a family member needs immediate attention for the seriously sick and dying, please contact the rectory immediately — DAY OR NIGHT.

Additionally, if you or a family member is admitted through the hospital’s emergency room, please contact the rectory to be included in our visitation list.
