Events You Don't Want to Miss
Mass with Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is no longer just for those who are close to death, but is for all with serious health problems. The Sacrament includes an anointing with oil and the Church's prayer that the sick person might be restored to health. If you have a serious, acute or chronic health problem, if you are scheduled to undergo surgery soon or if you are feeling diminished by advanced years, please celebrate the Anointing of the Sick with your faith community. Remember, you can receive this Sacrament more than once. Please join us on Wednesday, March 10th at 6:00 p.m. in the Church as we celebrate this great gift God has given us.
