By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. (CCC 1499)

Our priests visit St. Luke's Unity Point and Mercy Hospital every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. During these visits, patients are offered the possibility to receive the sacraments of Penance, Anointing of the Sick, and Eucharist.

If you or a loved one needs to be anointed at home or at the hospital, please call our office at (712)255-1637 Ext. 3.
