“Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament that is received by those who are ill or suffering. By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage, and his or her suffering is united with the suffering of Christ for the building up of the Church.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church nos. 1520-23) And in Scripture, through the Apostle James Christ has commanded us: “Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters [priests] of the Church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” – The Letter of James 5:14-15 So, if you wish to arrange for the Anointing of the Sick for yourself or a loved one, or before or during a hospital stay/surgery for yourself or another, please call the parish office at 508 867-6469. Remember, this sacrament is not reserved only for those who are near death, but for anyone who may be ill or suffering.

~Stewardship~

“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight

and followed him on the way.” (Mark 10:52) Faith is believing in something even though you may not be able to see it. Many people think that miracles don’t happen anymore. But, if you focus on the positive, not the negative, focus on your blessings instead of your hardships, miracles will seem common.

~Word of Life~ “When I meet another parent of a child with Down

syndrome, there is usually a moment of instant

recognition and understanding. … The secret we share

is the fundamental truth of our existence: every life is a

good and perfect gift. …Our love for them has nothing

to do with what they can or can't do. We love them

simply because of who they are.”
