Anointing of the Sick

On Saturday, February 7, the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena (220 Shelton Rd, Trumbull) will celebrate a special liturgy for anyone who is seriously ill, together with their family and/or caregivers. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be administered to those who are ill, and there will be a blessing of caregivers as well. Everyone is welcome to this special event of healing, strength, and hope.

NOTE: this event will not be a Mass; we have found that the Mass is too lengthy for some people in a weakened state. This will be a Liturgy of the Word with anointing and final blessing.

Who Should Attend? Those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age. Those soon to have surgery which will include the use of general anesthesia. Elderly people who have become notably weakened, even if no serious illness is present. Seriously ill children who have sufficient use of reason to be strengthened by this sacrament.

The Parish of Saint Catherine of Siena warmly welcomes anyone who is new to our area, anyone who is searching for the truth, or anyone who is looking for a spiritual home. We are joyfully and faithfully Roman Catholic in belief and practice - a community of faith, worship, service, and formation - and with open hearts we invite all our brothers and sisters into a living and saving friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ, in the communion of His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We are conveniently located at 220 Shelton Road in the Nichols area of Trumbull. Information at www.StCathTrumbull.com.
