Sacrament of the Sick

“Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith save the sick man…” (James 5:14-15a)

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to people who are seriously ill.  This sacrament is not only for those persons who are near death.  If someone receives this sacrament and recovers, they are able to receive the sacrament again in case of a grave illness in the future.

• The Sacrament of the Sick is celebrated during the 8:30 a.m. Mass on the 3rd Saturday of each month, or by arrangement. 

• Contact the parish office if seriously ill, hospitalized, or homebound.  A Minister of Care is available to bring Communion. Call the parish office at 847-362-2073 if you or a loved one would like to receive this sacrament.
