Anointing of the Sick
An Anointing of the Sick Service is offered each Monday morning after the 9am Mass. Parishioners who are ill, or who will be entering the hospital, are welcome to attend. Emergency requests for the Sacrament of the Sick should be made by calling the Pastoral Center at 403-0101.

Prayers for the Sick and Deceased
Parishioners who are hospitalized or ill, or a member of the infirm parishioner’s family, may call to request inclusion on the prayer list. In addition, a family member may request a recently deceased loved one’s name be added to the prayer list.

Ministers of Care
Ministers of Care bring Communion to the sick of the parish who are confined to their home or in the hospital. After attending a six-week Archdiocesan training program, each Minister of Care supports one or two parishioners through their illness, visiting them according to a schedule that the Minister of Care and the parishioner agree upon. Since the hospitals do not notify the parish automatically when a parishioner is admitted to the hospital, and due to the length of stay of a person in the hospital, a member of the parish, or in some cases, a Minister of Care will try to visit the parishioner in the hospital if the family of the parishioner informs the parish of the hospital stay sufficiently in advance.
