Anointing of the Sick

“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.”

                                                            ~Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1499

Those in need of the Sacrament of Anointing should contact the parish office.

Communion & Hospital Calls

If you or anyone you know is homebound or hospitalized, even temporarily, please call the church office at (828)898-6900. This way we can arrange for them to be visited by one of our Extraordinary Ministers. Often people in the hospital are missed because they enter as an emergency and we don’t always get their name. With your help we can make certain everyone is taken care of.
