Anointing of the Sick

Pastoral care of the sick and dying is a very important part of our Catholic mission. The Anointing of the Sick can be administered to any Catholic who is seriously ill or anticipating surgery or a medical procedure. This sacrament should be received in the early stages of illness and need not be delayed until the person is dying. Please call the Parish office at (603) 924-7647 to make arrangements.
