Anointing of the Sick
‘This sacrament gives the grace of the Holy Spirit to those who are sick: by this grace the whole person is helped and saved, sustained by trust in God, and strengthened… against anxiety over death. Thus, the sick person is able not only to bear suffering bravely, but also to fight against it.’ -Pastoral Care of the Sick, n. 6.
Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is available for those who may be living with chronic illness or who may be in need of sacramental support due to sickness or age.
If you or someone you know may be seriously ill (most especially if they are in hospital or aged care) please contact the Parish Office to arrange a pastoral visit.
In these instances, the sacrament should be administered without delay.
Please keep updated with the bulletin for more information on the celebration of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick within Mass.
