You are welcome to remain after Mass this weekend to receive the Sacrament of Anointing.  

Jesus came to heal the whole person, body and soul.  In the Church's Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to heal them from sin – and sometimes even from physical ailment. His cures were signs of the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The core message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin and death by his dying and rising.

When the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for effect is that, if it be God's will, the person be healed of physical, emotional or spiritual illness. But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.
