     The Sacrament of the Sick is for all.  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. The Sacrament may be repeated if the sick person recovers after the anointing but becomes ill once again, or if, during the same illness, the person's condition becomes more serious.
       A person should be anointed before surgery when a dangerous illness is the reason for the intervention.  



    If you or someone you love is in need of a visit from a Priest
    in order to receive the Sacrament of the Sick,
    please advise the Parish Office. 

     

        For those who are about to depart from this life, the Church offers the person Penance, Anointing of the Sick, and the Eucharist as Viaticum (food for the journey) given at the end of life. 
        The Catechism tell us that these, formerly known as 'last rites,' are "the sacraments that prepare for our heavenly homeland" (CCC1525).  These rites are highly valued by Catholics as powerful aids to a good death.

       Since Holy Communion is the effective sign of Christ's Paschal Mystery, it becomes for the recipient the opportunity to unite one's own suffering and dying to that of Christ with the hope of life eternal with him. The special words proper to Viaticum are added:
     

    "May the Lord Jesus protect you and lead you to everlasting life. Amen."
