Comfort, Strength and Hope in Times of Illness

When Should You Request the Sacrament?

Families are encouraged to contact the parish when a loved one is seriously ill rather than waiting until the final moments of life. Early pastoral care allows the person to receive the Sacrament prayerfully and with greater peace.

Comfort, Strength, and Hope

The Sacrament is not only for those who are near death. It may be received by Catholics who are seriously ill, facing major surgery, or experiencing a significant decline in health.

James 5:14

“Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the Church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.”

We Are Here for You

If you or a loved one is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our parish community is here to pray with you, offer pastoral support, and help arrange the Sacrament when appropriate.
