Do you know someone who is ill, in
the hospital, or unable to leave his or her home and join us for Mass?
We would like to reach out to these people and help them in their time
of need. However, we need you to tell us about them. We are a group of
parishioners who are prepared to offer a number of services to you and
your loved ones, such as:
1) Visiting, praying and talking with them.
2) Placing their name on our parish prayer list.
3) Taking Communion to them.
4) Contacting Fr. Dave and making arrangements for the "Anointing Of The
Sick."
What is the Anointing of the Sick? This is a common question. The
Anointing of the Sick is most likely one of the last sacraments one will
receive, because it is often administered when one becomes seriously ill
in order to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an
illness. The name by which the sacrament is called has changed over time
and has been referred to as part of the "last rites."
However, the Church now refers to it as, "the Anointing of the Sick."
The focus and intent of the sacrament is the spiritual and physical
strength of the individual during a serious illness.
a community to believe in...a
building to gather in...a spirituality to grow in
