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. 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.

Monthly Healing Service
Every month on the Last Saturday, our parish welcomes all those who are sick or suffering in any way to the St. Gianna Healing Service offered at 6:00pm- following the Saturday evening Mass.
At the healing service, prayers will be said and you will have the opportunity to be prayed over by a member of the Parish's Prayer Team. You will have the opportunity to venerate the relics of St. Gianna and ask for her intercession in your healing.
What are relics and why does the Church use them?
