Anointing of the Sick

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick offers God’s healing grace and strength to those experiencing physical, emotional, or spiritual illness, with communal celebrations held throughout the year and individual anointing available upon request.

All you who are thirsty, you who have no money, come, buy grain and eat; Why spend your money for what is not bread; your wages for what does not satisfy? Only listen to me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare. ~ Isaiah 55: 1-2

Anyone who is physically, emotionally or spiritually broken is invited to take part in the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, trusting that God loves us best and wants us to be fully well.

God desires for us to be healthy, to experience wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. When any part of us experiences brokenness, we are in need of this Sacrament.

Prior to Vatican II, this sacrament was reserved for extreme cases of illness and usually only administered before death (called “Extreme Unction,” or “last rites”). Vatican II restored this Sacrament to reflect the healing ministry of Jesus.

Once or twice each year at St. Margaret of Scotland, a communal celebration of the Anointing of the Sick is held at a Eucharistic liturgy. But any time an individual is in need of receiving the Sacrament, one need only call the Rectory at (314) 776-0363 to make a request.
