Anointing of the Sick

The anointing of the sick is administered during an illness, especially near the time of death, to bring spiritual and physical strength. This sacrament is an outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace. The anointing of the sick conveys several graces and imparts gifts of strengthening in the Holy Spirit against anxiety, discouragement, and temptation, and conveys peace and fortitude (CCC 1520).

If you or a loved one is in need of this sacrament, please call the parish office at (210) 698-1941.
