Anointing of the Sick February 8 & 9

The Anointing of the Sick will take place during all Masses February 8 & 9. Anyone who needs the Sacrament is invited to come forward. It “is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death.” The anointing can be given to anyone suffering from a serious illness or facing “a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced” (Catechism No. 1514 & 1515 ).
