In a unique way, this sacrament unites those who are suffering with the sufferings of Jesus, who also experienced fear and pain during His time on earth. This profound experience sometimes brings physical healing to those who are gravely ill. Moreover, celebrating this sacrament unifies the communion of the saints in interceding for the sick person, “contribut(ing) to the sanctification of the Church and to the good of all men for whom the Church suffers and offers herself through Christ to God the Father.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1522)
 

The Sacrament of the Sick is available anytime upon request.  It is intended for those who are facing serious physical or mental illness, surgery or the declining effects of aging.

A communal service of the sacrament is celebrated on the First Friday of each month at the 11:00 a.m. Mass.
