"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." - James 5:14
In the revised rite of the Church, Anointing of the Sick may be administered to a Catholic prior to a special operation, in the event of a serious illness, or because of the immediate possibility of death. The sacrament may be received in Church, in the home, at the hospital, or wherever circumstances dictate. Catholic hospitals usually offer this sacrament to all who desire it.
Please call the parish office at 314-576-5366 to request an annointing. For a spiritual emergency please call 314-254-3354.
