This Sacrament is for healing for all who are seriously ill, physically or mentally, and for those who have special need, such as prior to a major surgery. It is celebrated communally twice a year (during the Fall and Spring seasons), but can be celebrated any time by request. If you know someone who is ill and would like to be anointed contact the Parish Office:
Phone: 563-588-1433
The proper preparation for this sacrament is regular participation in parish life and the instruction received through weekend homilies and our parish celebrations of Eucharist. A genuine desire for healing and forgiveness in this particular instance is also important.
