1516 Only priests (bishops and presbyters) are ministers of the Anointing of the Sick.¹³¹ It is the duty of pastors to instruct the faithful on the benefits of this sacrament. The faithful should encourage the sick to call for a priest to receive this sacrament. The sick should prepare themselves to receive it with good dispositions, assisted by their pastor and the whole ecclesial community, which is invited to surround the sick in a special way through their prayers and fraternal attention.

Excerpt from Update Your Faith; Questions & Answers 
Anointing of the Sick:  A Parish Sacrament by Thomas Richstatter, O.F.M., Th.D. 

The Second Vatican Council returned the original meaning to the sacrament by emphasizing that Anointing of the Sick is not only for those who are at the point of death, but for anyone who is seriously ill, including mental or spiritual illness. It also helped move the Anointing away from a private service and back toward a community-based one.


Watch the bulletin for scheduled communal anointing at Healing Masses or call the parish office for individual anointing.
