This sacrament is offered to all those suffering from serious physical illness, to the elderly burdened with infirmities of age, and to anyone about to undergo major surgery.

this sacrament, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, brings us healing, including the strength to resist temptation, overcome anxieties, and have faith in God's power. Those receiving the Sacrament also find comfort in the communal prayer and encouragement of others. This healing Mass will be announced in our weekly bulletin as the date approaches.
