Anointing of the Sick

:: Anointing of the Sick
Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, strengthens those who suffer from some form of infirmity. Formerly, this sacrament was reserved only for those who were dying. Since Vatican II we have renewed our understanding of this sacrament and now regularly offer it to those in need of spiritual strength and healing as they face serious illness or a major operation. Anyone who is seriously ill, or preparing for an operation, and has not been anointed recently can arrange for the Sacrament by contacting the parish office and making arrangements with one of the priests.
