When you or a loved one is in need of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick please contact the Parish Office as soon as possible.  The sacrament is for anyone who has illness of body or mind, persons with a disease or suffering from an addiction, those suffering from a mental disorder, or before a known surgery.  In all these cases the person does not have to wait until the illness is so grave that he or she is in the hospital.  The sick person has a better opportunity to appreciate the prayers and symbols of the rite when he or she is in their customary place of worship or in their home.
