About

The Sacrament of Anointing is meant for those Christians whose health is seriously impaired by sickness and old age. Through the anointing the Church supports the sick in their struggle against illness, continuing Christ’s work of healing.

The presence of family members and others from the community highlight this prayer of the Church as a healing encounter with the Lord. Anointing may be repeated as dictated by the condition of the person, whether during the same or a different illness.

Through the Anointing of the Sick, God offers strength, peace , and healing in body, mind , and spirit. This sacrament is for the sick, not just the dying.

Call us at (203) 735-7857 or (203) 735-7874 to request this sacrament of the sick.

The Sacrament of the Sick is also offered after the 4:00pm Vigil Mass on the Third Saturday of Every Month

“Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up.”
