Anointing of the Sick

The Sacrament of the Sick

The Sacrament of the Sick is one of two sacraments that provides the faithful with the opportunity to encounter the healing power of Christ.

Those who are facing serious illness, mental or physical, or a preparing for surgery should avail themselves to this sacrament. Anointed on the head and hands by a priest with the blessed Oil of the Sick brings healing and peace.

The Sacrament of the Sick is celebrated at all Masses on two weekends each year (late fall and the second Sunday of Lent.) On most weekends, the priest would be able to anoint the sick after any Mass.

The Sacrament of the Sick can also be celebrated at home or a healthcare facility by appointment.  Please contact the Parish Office, 973-226-0979 during regular business hours.
