Anointing of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick

By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.

Please contact the main office at (916) 772-4717 and leave your information with the receptionist.
Please note that the Sacrament can be received at any stage of serious illness. It is for the sick; not just the dying. Parishioners should not wait until the last moments, as a priest is not always readily available and the benefits of the Sacrament are for the living.
