At these Masses, we will offer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Anyone who is ill, elderly, preparing to undergo a medical procedure, or seeking the gift of God’s healing is welcome to participate. The parish community is invited to join in prayer for those who are sick and for their caregivers.
St. Mel Stephen Ministers are parishioners who have spent fifty hours in study and training to become spiritual caregivers.
If you find yourself in need of encouragement or companionship due to a personal loss or significant change in your life, we want you to know that you are loved. You are cared for. And your parish is prepared to respond to your need.
