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 (CCC1499)
We understand your concerns when you or your loved ones are ill. Our priests are involved in Chaplaincy at Box Hill Hospital, Epworth Eastern and local aged care facilities.
If you, or a family member, wish to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, please contact the Parish Office to make arrangements.
