The Sacrament of the Sick

Who Can Receive the Anointing of the Sick?
The Sacrament for the Anointing of the Sick is for anyone who is gravely ill, anticipating a surgery,  homebound, is in danger of death due to sickness or old age, and desires God’s sacramental presence, spiritual healing, and grace. It is important to note that when a person is in the process of dying it is advisable for the family not to wait until death is imminent before requesting the sacrament. A priest may not be immediately available and your loved one may not receive the sacrament in time.
