By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage, and his or her suffering is united with the suffering of Christ for the building up of the Church.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church nos. 1520-23) And in Scripture, through the Apostle James Christ has commanded us: “Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters [priests] of the Church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” – The Letter of James 5:14-15 So, if you wish to arrange for the Anointing of the Sick for yourself or a loved one, or before or during a hospital stay/surgery for yourself or another, please call the parish office at 508 867-6469. Remember, this sacrament is not reserved only for those who are near death, but for anyone who may be ill or suffering.

A partner is a person who invests their time, talent and treasure. If we say we serve God, we must actually do something and not merely talk about it! ~Word of Life~ “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” — John 10:10 (NABRE © 2010 CCD.
