Anointing of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick is for those who are facing serious and significant physical illnesses that can put one in danger of death.

It would be appropriate therefore to be anointed upon hospitalization and/or prior to any significant surgery, but not for minor surgical procedures or for a broken bone (unless there is a threat of serious complications). The Sacrament may be repeated after a few months or after a significant downturn in health.

The Anointing of the Sick is available by request from one of the priests or by calling the parish office for an appointment.

If you or someone you love are under Hospice care or are critically ill and would like to be anointed, please call the Parish Office at 813-752-8251 Monday through Thursday 8am-3pm and Friday 8am-2pm to make arrangements while they are still conscious.
