All those experiencing illness are invited to attend Holy Family Catholic Community's Anointing Service at 1:30 pm on Wednesday, December 14 at Sacred Heart Church. The sacrament, which confers God's grace through the Holy Spirit on those who are ill, can be offered more than once if a person's condition has worsened or became ill once again. It is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death.
