Anointing of the Sick for ALL
Monday Jan 6 at the 8:30am Mass
When the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for effect is that, if it be God's will, the person be physically healed of illness. But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Fr. Hugh’s name can be made to the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales Retirement Fund, Our Lady of Light Catholic Community, or Bishop Verot Catholic High School. These causes were all deeply meaningful to him and reflect the values he held dear.
