This is a special opportunity for those who wish to receive the Sacrament of the Sick. Once called Extreme Unction it was reserved for those who were approaching death. This is not so today. This sacrament is available for anyone who suffers with serious illness, eg. the elderly whose frailty is becoming more pronounced, those who are facing major surgery or serious medical tests, those who suffer from uncontrollable and chronic illnesses such as arthritis or diabetes. A person’s suffering may be more invisible, perhaps as a result of mental illness. If you know anyone who suffers and would benefit from this sacrament or is homebound because of infirmity, please help them to attend this Mass.
