• The Anointing of the Sick
  
  By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.
  Catechism of the Catholic Church 1499
  
  Anyone the age of seven years old or older may receive this Sacrament during times of serious illness or impending death, or before a major surgery. Please contact Fr Raju to make an appointment. It is customary to go to confession just before receiving this Sacrament.
  
  Also, if you know of someone close to death, do not hesitate to call the office at any hour of the day or night to contact Fr Raju.
