Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament which, through the anointing with blessed oil by the priest, and through prayer, gives health and strength to the soul; and sometimes to the body of a person whose sickness, accident, or old age carries with it some danger of death.

Is any one among you sick? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14)

If anyone is in proximate danger of death, do not hesitate to contact a priest at any time of day or night.

For those who are anticipating an upcoming surgery and/or a hospital stay?
It is suggested that they contact the Parish House (845) 735-7405 to have a priest anoint them.

Undergoing treatments for a serious health condition?

Are the years starting to weigh heavily on you and you’d like some divine assistance in your ongoing daily efforts?

Please ask to receive the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick before or after daily or Sunday mass or right here at the rectory. You may even request a date to be anointed right in your own home.
 
Please don’t put it off. Let one of your parish priests know and we would be happy to give you this beautiful and outward sign of God’s healing love.. (Your priests and deacon would also like to keep you in our prayers.)
