Anointing of the Sick

Friday, May 1, 2026, 9:00 AM

Location: Church

Twice a year we celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick during Mass. This will happen on Friday, May 1 as part of the regularly scheduled 9 AM Mass. During the Mass the priest will come to each person who wants to receive Anointing.

Who should receive this sacrament? Anyone who has a serious or chronic illness, those who are anticipating surgery, or the elderly, are encouraged to come and receive this sacrament. The primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the person receives the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace and courage, to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.

There will be light refreshments in the MPR after this Mass.
