"They drove out many demons & they anointed with oil many that were sick, and cured them."
Mark 6:13
Anytime a person is facing a serious illness, an upcoming surgery or a hospitalization it is proper to receive the sacrament of the anointing of the sick.
When a loved one is passing away, we want to surround them with the Church’s prayers. We pray for them as they are dying. We can ask the parish priest or the hospital chaplain to come & say prayers. We bring them communion. The communion given as someone is dying has a special name: viaticum, which is food for their final journey, if they are able to receive communion. We surround them with prayer.
Should you, or someone you know, be unable to attend mass because of illness, please contact the parish office at 403-278-7556 (including emergency requests) or contact:
