Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick Contact Monsignor Mike Hazard ext. 103 or Father Anthony, ext.133
The grace of this sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace and courage to deal with the discouragement and difficulties of serious illness or the limitations of advanced age. Prayers are included for physical healing if that be the will of God. The appropriate time to request this sacrament for oneself or another is at the time of serious illness, during chronic illness, or prior to surgery.
Sacrament of Baptism Contact Sister Mary Catherine Fodrocy, OP, ext 108
Rebirth which makes us sharers in the life of God and members of the Church, the Body of Christ is among the many graces of Baptism. We celebrate the baptism of infants in groups with other families several times during the year. Adults and children old enough to be instructed take part in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This process includes prayer, instruction, community experience and service which lead to full initiation into the life and mission of Jesus as lived by the Church. The sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist are celebrated at the Easter Vigil the night before Easter.
Holy Communion to the Homebound Contact Sister Mary Catherine Fodrocy, OP, ext 108
The Church reaches out in loving care to those who are confined at home due to illness or the limitations of advanced age by commissioning Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to make communion calls to them. Call Sr. Mary Catherine Fodocy if you, or someone you know would desire such a visit.
