Annointing of the Sick is a very special way to ask God's blessings
upon the ill and to care for and encourage each other as a congregation.
The Sacrament is celebrated communally in the spring and fall during
Sunday Mass, and can be requested to take place at your home or
in the hospital any time throughout the year.
Funeral
Rites: At the time of death, Saint Michaels is present to offer
sympathy, compassion, understanding and support. In the funeral
rites of the Church, the parish celebrates the Christian's "final
passover" from death to life. We are available to provide
a light luncheon for family and friends after the funeral liturgy.
Pastoral Counseling and the assistance of the Bereavement Ministry
are offered to help members cope with their loss. |
