This sacrament used to be called Last Rites or Extreme Unction, but is now called Anointing of the Sick to represent our hope that the person receiving will recover and not pass on. This sacrament can be received more than once. Please call the rectory and speak to the pastor if you or someone you know would like to receive this sacrament. Most hospitals have priests that regularly visit them, and you should feel free to ask for this if you wish to receive it.
