By the sacred anointing 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. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.

Urgent calls will be attended at any time of the day or night. In cases of shut-ins or chronic illness, please arrange with the priest for a regular visit, at least monthly. Extraordinary Ministries of the Eucharist minister to the nursing homes in the parish regularly.
