The sacrament of the Sick is the rite of anointing the sick with oil, or the laying on of hands, by which God's grace is given for the healing of spirit, mind, and body. In the past this sacrament was mistakenly called the "Last Rites" since people often waited till the "last minute" to call the priest to administer this blessing. Now we are encouraged to request this sacrament while we can consciously draw strength from Christ in this anointing.
This anointing may be given prior to surgery or for any serious cause of physical illness. Please call the Parish Office at 401-232-5600 to make arrangements to receive the Anointing.
