Anyone who is seriously ill or aged and wishes to be anointed should call the Parish Office at 973-697-6100.  If you or anyone you know is in the hospital, please also notify the Parish Office.

During the celebrations of this sacrament, the Church prays that God will be with the person who is going to be anointed.   The priest lays hands on the person and anoints the person's forehead and hands with the oil of the sick.  The anointing represents health and wellness.  

WHEN SHOULD I ASK FOR ANOINTING OF THE SICK?

Ask for anointing of the sick whenever you are in need of strengthening, but especially when:

• undergoing surgery

• struggling with chronic or serious illness

• growing in age and feeling weaker even though no illness is present

• during the course of recovery if the condition changes
