Hospital Visitation. The priests and lay ministers of the parish are interested in visiting members of the parish when they are in the hospital. However, hospitals no longer automatically inform parishes when a parishioner is admitted. We will be able to visit only if we know you are in a hospital. It is most helpful to us when you or a family member notifies the parish office.

Communion for the Sick. Holy Communion is brought once a week to those who are sick or unable to go to church on a regular basis. If you or a family member want to be put on the list on a regular or temporary basis, please call the parish office.

Individual Annointing. If you are planning to go to the hospital for surgery or extended care, contact the parish office before you go, in order to arrange for the celebration of the sacrament.

This sacrament is for the sick or the chronically ill, not for the dying or dead. Individuals in hospitals should ask the chaplain there for the sacrament.

Communal Anointing. Periodically during the year, the sacrament of the sick is celebrated at Mass for all those who need the grace of the sacrament.
