Anointing of the Sick is one of the seven Sacraments by which the Church commends to the glorified Lord the faithful who are dangerously sick so that He can relieve and save them. The Sacrament is administered by a bishop or priest to a member of the faithful who begins to be in danger due to sickness or old age. The epistle of James (5:14-15) notes that anointing the sick and infirm with oil, in the name of the risen Jesus, will help strengthen them and heal them. In the New Testament anointing alludes to messianic joy, honor, healing of the sick and the forgiveness of sin.

This sacrament is offered periodically at a special Mass during the year and by request upon the onset of illness. Call the parish office 812-477-8923 when in need of this Sacrament.
