The Sacrament of the sick proclaims and makes real the healing and love of Christ. It is available for those who are seriously ill, aged, infirm or facing major surgery either in the hospital, at home, or in a nursing facility.

Occasionally this Sacrament is also celebrated at Church as a communal celebration during Sunday liturgies.

Please contact the Parish Office regarding any member of your household who is ill or confined in any way. Remember that hospitals do not inform the Parish Office if a parishioner is admitted to their facility.

The homebound members of our parish community are visited weekly by a Eucharistic Minister. Visit time is arranged each week by a lay or staff minister. Please call the Parish Office if we can serve you.

For those experiencing a short-term illness/recuperation, a lay minister will bring Eucharist to you when you are unable to worship with us.

During a hospital stay, please notify the floor nurse if you wish to have arrangements made to receive Eucharist each day.

Our Parish Staff and Bereavement Support Group are available to offer support and consolation to those who grieve the loss of a loved one.

It is the Catholic tradition to hold a vigil (wake) for the deceased and a Funeral Mass. Cremation is permitted in the Catholic Church, but this should take place after the Funeral Mass.
