The Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament by which Christ comforts and strengthens those who are dangerously ill due to sickness, injury or old age. The Anointing of the Sick is given by the priest who anoints the sick person on the forehead and hands, saying: “By this holy anointing may the God of mercy fill you with the grace of the Holy
Spirit. Amen. May the Lord who frees you from sin, save you then raise you up. Amen.”
Anointing of the Sick will take place here at St. Leander’s next Saturday, February 4 at 8 a.m. and continues to take place on the first Saturday of each month.
