Anointing of the Sick
Schedule: Please contact Father Jim Long or Father Ray Schultz at the Holy
Trinity Rectory to schedule.
Information about this Sacrament: Who
can receive this sacrament? Anyone who has a serious illness: cancer, heart problem, mental or
psychological, etc. or any elderly person who has health problems. In this sacrament, you encounter
Jesus and ask Him for healing. During his public ministry on earth, Jesus was very concerned about
the sick and cured many. He is just as concerned about the sick today as He was then. While there
isn't always a physical cure, there certainly is an effect mentally, psychologically, and
spiritually. Remember you are meeting Jesus person to person, and just as His time on earth, He
expects faith and trust from us in the encounter.
