Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick offers Christ’s healing grace, peace, strength, and comfort to those facing serious illness or the difficulties of aging. It is not reserved only for the final moments of life. The sacrament may also be received before major surgery, when a serious illness worsens, or when an elderly person becomes increasingly frail.
If you or a loved one would like to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, please call the Rectory Office at 814-864-0622. Whenever possible, we encourage families to contact the parish before an illness becomes critical.
“The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” — James 5:15
