Anointing of the Sick Luke 4:18 - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, Anointing of the sick The anointing of the sick consists of a moment where the anointing oils and the prayers of the Father lead to the divine presence of Jesus Christ in hopes of healing them. Whether the illness is in plain sight or not visible, the priest takes measures to bless the body of those who call upon healing. There is no need for the person to be at a point of death for them to receive the sacrament. However, the person may not receive physical healing if at a point of death, though, spiritually they have been removed from all sin and filled with peace. That being said when a father is called to pray for the person in need of his blessing, we ask certain questions to the responsible person calling in this misfortune of event. We ask of the person: Can the person in need of the sacrament talk? If so, confession is required. In the matter that they can’t speak, the father will take different measures with the confession aspect. Can the person eat or drink? If so, by request of the sick, the Father will proceed to deliver the sacrament of the bread and the blood of Christ. If the sick cannot do any of the above, a different procedure will be performed. If the sick are not able to perform any of these, the Father will go ahead and bless them with a prayer, holy oil, and his divine presence. If the person that's ill can communicate, be sure to get their permission before calling our office to obtain this sacrament. Information required of you: Name and phone number of the person in contact The patient's name and location A backup name and number For more information or questions, contact our Parish Office.

Since they dedicate themselves to learning and reading the Scriptures of the Lord, they become the teaching of what he would want all of us to be.
