The anointing of the sick is administered by a priest through the power of the Holy Spirit to bring spiritual strength, grace, and comfort to a loved one during an illness, especially near the time of death.
This sacrament is offered for healing and not just "last minute". Please call prior to major surgery, for chronic illness, or at the beginning of lingering or fatal diagnosis.
Please call the Parish office (225.654.5778) when you need to schedule an anointing.
Emergency calls are answered as quickly as possible. Visits to homebound parishioners will be conducted on a regular basis. Please notify the parish office when you or a family member have been confined to hospital or home.
