Anointing of the Sick
A sacrament of healing, peace, and spiritual strength.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church assures us, “By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.” (CCC 1499)
In case of serious illness of yourself or a family member, Father Groff will be happy to administer the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. If you have a procedure or surgery scheduled, or otherwise know that you or a loved one will be entering the hospital, you may also ask to celebrate the Sacrament of Anointing before or after the Mass you are attending.
To schedule an appointment for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, please call the Parish Office.
