The sacrament of the anointing of the sick is a profound expression of God's love and mercy, offering spiritual strength, peace, and courage to those who are seriously ill or facing the challenges of old age. Through this sacrament, the Church brings the healing presence of Christ to those who are suffering, providing them with the grace to endure their trials and, if it is God's will, even physical healing. It is a sacrament of hope and comfort, reminding us that no one faces illness or hardship alone, but with the support and prayers of the entire Church.

If you or a loved one is in need of the anointing of the sick, we encourage you to contact the parish as soon as possible. You can reach us at 712-255-1637. If no one is in the office when you call, please dial 3 when the recording begins; this will alert all the priests in the parish. If no one is able to answer immediately, please leave a voicemail with detailed information, and one of our priests will respond as soon as they are able. We are here to support you and your loved ones during times of illness, and we want to ensure that you receive the comfort and grace of this sacrament when it is most needed.
