The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is for one who is seriously ill and in need of God's healing and anointing whether in the hospital, nursing home, or in their home. It is not only for the dying. Contact Fr. Peter at 303.420.1280.
Annually on the feast of St. Anne, July 26, the sacrament is offered after the morning Mass for those in need who are capable of coming to the church.
Who may receive the Sacrament of the Sick?
  • Any member of the faithful whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age.
  • Anyone facing surgery for a serious condition.
  • People who suffer from chronic illness.
  • Elderly people if they have become noticeably weakened even though no serious illness is present.
  • Sick children, if they have sufficient use of reason to be strengthened by the sacrament.
  • The sacrament may be repeated if the sick person recovers and then falls ill again or if the person's condition worsens.
  • The sacrament may be conferred on a sick person who has lost consciousness, but who, as a Christian believer, at least implicitly asked for it when he/she was in control of his/her faculties.
  • When a person is in danger of death from sickness or old age.
