Anointing Mass March 23 at 7pm

Most of us usually think of asking for this anointing only when we are nearing death through sickness or old age. However, if this is the case, we would be missing out on the opportunity for God to heal and help us at times when we might need Him the most – when we are having surgery, dealing with a physical, mental, emotional, or even spiritual affliction.

It is during these difficult times that we need the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage. It is during these times, as well, that we should seek to receive this wonderful Sacrament.
