The Anointing of the Sick should ideally be celebrated when the person who is ill is capable of participating in the sacrament, and not only reserved until the person is in danger of imminent death. Anyone over the age of reason who is afflicted with a serious or chronic illness, anyone facing surgery, or suffering from the debilitating effects of old age may be anointed. To arrange for anointing, please call the parish office at 530-889-2254.
