Please notify
the Parish Office or use the
Emergency Pager number when
a parishioner is seriously ill at home or in the hospital so that
the seriously sick may receive Communion and/or be anointed. This
is a Sacrament of healing and hope, so please do not wait till a
loved one is almost dying. Call us when someone is seriously ill
or may be going in for some major surgery. This way, the sick can
also participate in the church's prayer for healing and anointing.
We have several Pastoral
Care Ministers who regularly take communion to the sick and
the homebound. We care - especially when you are sick and in need.
Anointing of
the sick expresses the Church's nature as a healing community. Most
of the Church's caring for the sick is done by ordinary Christians
in their own homes and in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In the sacramental rite of anointing, Christians gather to celebrate
and experience the healing love of God. It is a special way of perpetuating
Jesus' ministry of healing the sick and of continuing the early practice
of the Church (James 5:14-15).
