Anointing of the Sick

Any Catholic with serious health concerns can be anointed and prayed over. You may ask Father Trapp to anoint you after Mass or arrange a time before you go into the hospital.

If you are hospitalized, please call the office and let Fr. Trapp know of your concerns. If you wish, he can visit you and anoint you. Hospitals do not notify us.

USCCB Anointing of the Sick Resource – Joined to Christ, Witnesses of Hope and Healing

"By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ."
