Are you, or someone you care about, in need of healing?
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is intended for
those with a serious mental or physical health condition,
in anticipation of a surgery or major medical procedure,
those struggling with the effects of old age, or
in anticipation of death.
It can be received
at any age
as needed throughout one's life (more than once)
privately or
in a communal service during Mass
What happens during this sacrament?
Father will anoint your head and hands with the Oil of the Infirm, which has been blessed by the Archbishop. He will then say a prayer of healing. In a private setting, the sacrament of Reconciliation may also be celebrated, if desired.
