Anointing of the Sick

"Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament that is received by those who having surgery, seriously ill, or in the process of dying. By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage, and his or her suffering is united with the suffering of Christ for the building up of the Church (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], nos. 1520-23)."

All those who will be Anointed should receive the Sacrament of Confession prior to the Anointing. Click here to view our Confession times.
