Anointing of the Sick

February 11th is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, and World Day of the Sick. The ministry of Jesus to the sick is central to the life of the Church, and February 11th highlights the healing ministry of the Church. It reminds us that service to the sick and suffering cannot be neglected.

On Sunday, February 12th, we will have a communal Anointing of the Sick at the 10:30 a.m. mass. Anyone preparing for surgery, someone dealing with a serious illness, or an elderly person whose health is fragile, may be anointed at this mass.

If you have any questions, please speak with Father Mac Eachen.
