World Day of the Sick

When Pope John Paul II established the World Day of the Sick on the memorial of our Lady of Lourdes on February 11 each year he was “reminding us to see in our sick brother or sister the face of Christ”, and of our own need for healing and the Church’s care for those who are ill and those who care for them.

On Saturday February 8th at 9 am we will celebrate a Special Mass for the Anointing of the Sick.

Please extend an invitation to those Roman Catholics in your families or your neighbours whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age, as we would be happy to anoint them during the Mass.

Finally, a reminder that if you have a loved one who is homebound, or seriously ill please call the parish office to arrange for Fr. Tim to come for an initial visit and possible Anointing of the Sick. We would then be happy to offer them the option of receiving communion at home through our Pastoral Care Team.
