SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK CELEBRATION SATURDAY, MAY 17 AT 4 P.M. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to those who are sick. Anyone who has a serious sickness is eligible for the Sacrament. Anyone who will undergo serious surgery can also receive the sacrament. Anyone who is weakened physically because of advanced age is also able to receive. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be received as many times as the person would like to receive it. It can be received for the same illness especially at its different stages. Those who would like to receive this Sacrament on May 17 are asked to call the rectory and give your name. A place will be reserved for you. The effects of the Sacrament of the Sick are many. The Church anoints the forehead and the hands of the person. The prayer of the Church is that the person be healed. The healing may be physical. It may be spiritual. In each case the Risen Christ comes to be the strength of the person in this weakened time. EASTER MEMORIAL FLOWERS Anthony S. Cardoza Leo Isabel Guilbeault Jessie Metras Bella Gracia Mr. and Mrs. Pavao Laura Guilbeault CALLED BY NAME The task of fostering vocations to priesthood and religious life rests with the entire parish community. Parishes throughout our diocese are participating in the "Called by Name" program to mark, "World Day of Prayer for Vocations" on Sunday, May 11. The program asks parishioners to submit the names of young men and women who seem to possess qualities of a potential vocation: helpful, faith-filled, generous with time and talent, active in the parish. If you know some who demonstrate these qualities, help us to encourage him or her to consider a vocation. Take a moment and nominate someone from the parish. He or she will be invited to consider a vocation as an option for the future. Vocations are everyone’s concern as Pope John Paul II wrote: "Every vocation is born, is nourished and develops in the church and is linked to the church in its origin, growth, purpose and mission. For this reason diocesan and parish communities are called to strengthen their commitment to vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life, especially the proclamation of the Word, the celebration of the sacraments and the witness of charity." |
