The Anointing of the Sick

By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1499)
Please do not hesitate to call the priest for a sick family member or friend at any point or time. Often Catholics think that the sacrament is only for those who are at the point of death. This is wrong because the Sacrament is also a sacrament of healing. 

To arrange for a priest visit for anointing of the sick, please call the Parish Office at: 914-965-0566.
