The Anointing of the Sick consists of the laying on of hands by a priest and the anointing of the sick with blessed oil, and may be accompanied by the sacrament of reconciliation and reception of the Eucharist. The sacrament is given to those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age, or who are facing treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It may be repeated if the sick person recovers after being anointed and then falls ill again. Anointing of the Sick can be arranged by contacting one of the priests or, in an emergency, at any time by contacting the rectory. Parish celebrations of the Anointing of the Sick are held six times a year during Mass.
