The Church offers us the comfort of the Anointing of the Sick at times when we are in need of a reminder of the nearness of Christ and his care for us.  We all experience illness in the course of human life. There are times when that illness is serious or threatening and the grace of the sacrament as well as the peace of mind of being attended to by Christ is both a comfort to the mind and a joy to the soul. 

When a serious need arises an effort should be made to call for the parish priest (if ill at home) or chaplain upon arrival at a health care facility.

To request the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, please contact Fr. Steven Palsa at
