Anointing of the Sick
“O Lord my God, I cried to You and You have healed me.”
Anointing of the Sick, Home Visitation & Support
Instituted by Christ, this Sacrament Saint James says: “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call in the presbyters of the Church and let them pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord” (James 5:14-15).
"By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.” Catechism of the Catholic Church §1499
Requests to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick should be made to one of the Cathedral priests.
