Mass with Annointing of the Sick

The Celebration of Mass
with the
Annointing of the Sick

7:00 PM
Wedensday, October 18
Our Lady of Sorrows Church

By the sacred annointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. (CCC 1499)

Who may receive this sacrament?

• Those awaiting surgery of a serious nature
• The elderly who are notably weakened, even if not seriously ill
• Sick children may be strengthened through this annointing.

Our parish invites all those Catholics who may be ill to this sacred encounter, that they might know that Christ, who often visited and healed the sick, loves them in their illness. If you would like to know more about this sacrament—where it comes from, what it does, and when a person may be anointed, see the page on the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. If you or a loved one is too sick to come to the Mass, you can always call on one of our priests to come and bring the Sacrament to you where you live. Instructions of preparing for such a visit can be found on the page, Preparing for a Sick Call.
