The anointing of the sick is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. It is prudent to receive the Anointing of the Sick for those who are gravely ill, in danger of death, have been seriously injured, prior to serious operations or whenever there is a serious danger to health. This anointing and the accompanying prayers strengthen the person that they may endure their suffering and assure them that God walks with them through their difficult times.

We are happy to provide the sacraments for those who are ill or infirmed at home or in hospital. Communion can be received, even on a regular basis, and Confession and Anointing of the Sick as needed.

For questions about Anointing of the Sick or to schedule an appointment with a Priest for the Sacrament, please call the parish office at 250-624-3035.
