Sacraments of Healing

Sacraments of Healing

Reconciliation

You’re invited to take that small risk of confessing so that you can experience God’s love for you in this very personal way. Sundays from 4:15 – 5:00 or by appointment with Fr. John Paul or Fr. Joseph. Also, experience the communal dimension of this sacrament by attending the Advent and Lenten reconciliation services. After sharing the scriptures and a communal examination of conscience, there will be an opportunity for private confession. This communal celebration is an ideal way to experience the fullness of this sacrament of grace as we journey together towards Christmas or Easter.

Annointing of the Sick

“Is anyone among you sick? Call for a priest and be anointed with oil in the name of the Lord.” All whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age are invited and encouraged to celebrate the sacrament. Anointing was, for a time, popularly called last rites, but in recent decades, the Church has reclaimed this sacrament as a healing sacrament, to be celebrated at the beginning of a serious illness if possible. Contact Fr. John Paul for more information.
