Anointing of the Sick

Properly called, “The Sacrament of Healing,” Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament ministered by the Church to those who are ill, infirmed, or those anticipating or recovering from surgery to give comfort, peace, and courage to the person suffering. “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.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church

The Sheboygan North Catholic Parishes offer this Sacrament to all members of the parish and its celebration can be easily arranged:

  • The third Saturday each month after the 5 p.m. St. Dominic Mass.
  • When you are attending Mass, and, e.g., are anticipating surgery, simply ask one of the priests to celebrate the Sacrament with you.
  • If unable to be present at the church and you or someone in your family is in urgent need of this Sacrament, please call the Parish Office to arrange for a visit from one of our priests.

In the event of a loved one actively dying, the priest will celebrate “Last Rites,” which consist of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Communion. Clearly the patient’s medical condition may alter or limit the way any one of the Sacraments can be celebrated.
