Anointing of the Sick

St. James Church - Anointing MassThe sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is a gift from the Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a liturgical and communal celebration appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness. It is meant to lead the sick person to healing of the soul, and also of the body if such is God's will. If the person is conscious of grave sin, the sacrament of Anointing should be preceded by the sacrament of Reconciliation.

Please call the rectory/ office to let us know your need or that of a loved one.
