"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." CCC 1499

Since the Second Vatican Council, the bishops taught that this sacrament “is not a sacrament only for those who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness, or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived”.

When an emergency arises, contact 1-877-665-0421.  A priest will be notified and return your call as soon as possible.
