Anointing of the Sick unites the sufferings of the seriously ill to the cross, grants forgiveness of sin, and prepares us for the passage to eternal life with the Risen Christ.
 
Catholics who are anticipating surgery or experiencing health issues and would like to be strengthened with the Church’s sacrament of healing and hope, contact the pastor personally to arrange for the Anointing of the Sick.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick was previously most commonly administered to the dying, for the remission of sins and the provision of spiritual strength and health. In modern times, however, its use has been expanded to all who are gravely ill or are about to undergo a serious operation, and the Church stresses a secondary effect of the sacrament: to help a person recover his health. Like Confession and Holy Communion, to which it is closely linked, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be repeated as often as is necessary.
