Anointing of the Sick

Elderly Catholics who are experiencing the frailty and health challenges of old age are also welcome to receive the Anointing. The sacrament may be received more than once, even during the same illness if it progresses in seriousness.

Every Thursday night during the school year from 7:45-8:45 pm, intercessory prayer teams are available in the church to pray with you and for you and your needs.
Intercessory prayer is a blessing and a call to faith. When we pray a prayer of intercession, we are uniting our love with God’s love and asking that whom or what we are praying for may also enter into that same love relationship. Part of the gift of intercessory prayer is that it moves us from focus on ourselves to focus on God and on others. It draws us into selflessness and out of selfishness.
"Intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. He is the one intercessor with the Father on behalf of all men, especially sinners. He is "able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. The Holy Spirit 'himself intercedes for us . . . and intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.'" ~ CCC 2634
