Mass with the Anointing of the Sick

On Wednesday 11 February, the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes and the World Day of the Sick, at 10:00 we will celebrate Mass with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

We invite the elderly, the chronically ill, those preparing for surgery and those who simply feel their strength failing. Anointing is not a sacrament for the dying — it can be received many times, whenever one's health deteriorates. The condition is to be in a state of sanctifying grace, so confession will be available from 9:00.

We will provide transport for those who cannot come by themselves. Requests are accepted at the parish office and in the sacristy until Tuesday. Caritas volunteers will collect the sick from their homes and take them back after Mass; from Zalesie, Pustki and Dąbrówka Wierzbnicka as well.

After Mass we invite everyone for tea and cake in the meeting room at the presbytery.

We remind you that a priest can be called to the sick at any time on 601 555 240. Please do not wait to call until the sick person is already unconscious — the sacrament is for the living and is meant to help them, including in their recovery.
