Sacramental Preparation

The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing extended to those who are gravely ill, facing surgery or who are struggling with the difficulties of old age. In this sacrament the priest lays hands in silence upon the sick, prays over them, and anoints them with oil blessed by the bishop. The sacrament is celebrated within a community gathering at special times of the year or, as needed, with an individual.

At Pax Christi, our pastor is available in a situation needing anointing of the sick. Call our Parish Office at 303-799-1036 or the sacramental emergency number at 303-208-4012.
