Anointing of the Sick

When we are sick or dying we must face the fact of our mortality. In this time of difficulty Jesus does not abandon us.  He gave us priests who bring us the graces of the sacrament of the sick, called Anointing of the Sick because the principle sign is anointing with oil consecrated by the bishop.

Every third Saturday of the month, Anointing of the Sick is held after the 4:30pm Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas.  

Anyone who is seriously ill, preparing for surgery or in need of spiritual or emotional healing is welcome to receive this sacrament.  Following Vatican II, people can receive this sacrament at will and more than once.

Come and receive spiritual strength, peace and grace.
