We will celebrate the sacrament of anointing of the sick during the 8am Mass on Tuesday December 6, 2022.

The sacrament of anointing of the sick is for those that are at the point of death, anyone of the faithful that begins to be in danger of death
from sickness, or old age.

(CCC 1314). In the Church's Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to
heal them from sin – and sometimes even from physical ailment. His cures were signs of the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The core
message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin and death by his dying and rising. The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no
need to wait until a person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the serious nature of the illness is
sufficient. When the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for effect is that, if it be God's will, the person be physically
healed of illness. But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick per-
son 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 (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults).
