The Rite of Anointing of the Sick tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament.
An Anointing can take place when someone is seriously ill or about to undergo significant surgery.
A careful judgement about the serious nature of the ailment is sufficient.
Please call the Parish at 781- 826-4303, BEFORE an emergency arises (if at all possible )
so there is time to arrange for an anointing of the sick individual.
Thank you!
