Among the seven sacraments, the Anointing of the Sick is especially intended to strengthen those who are ill. While the Sacrament serves to comfort the dying, it is not only for those at the point of death. It is also intended to help the chronically ill and the elderly who are in a weakened condition. Children who are seriously ill or facing major surgery can be anointed. The sacrament can be administered more than once even during the same illness if a person’s condition becomes more serious. Don't wait until your loved one is on the point of death. Give them the gift of this strengthening sacrament!

The first sign of hope should be the desire for peace in our world, which once more finds itself immersed in the tragedy of war…Is it too much to dream that arms can fall silent and cease to rain down destruction and death? May diplomacy be tireless in its commitment to seek…lasting peace.

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion throughout the United States. Although the Dobbs v. Jackson decision by the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
