If anyone is sick, let him call on the elders of the Church. They shall pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer said in faith will save the sick man; the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven." James 5:13-15

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for:

· Those of the faithful whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age
· A person facing surgery
· Elderly people who have become notably weakened even though no serious illness is present
· Sick children or people of any age in need of healing
· Those suffering mental or spiritual illness in search of healing in a time of crisis or pain.
