Communal Celebration of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick

October 25, 2023

The Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated at our next regular weekend liturgy, Sunday, October 29t^h at the 10:00 AM. One of the Church’s most beautiful and consoling rituals, this sacrament keeps the Church’s promise: “We will not abandon you” in your sickness, suffering, weakness or struggle.

Please join us! Whether you want to receive the sacrament yourself or pray with and for those who are receiving it, we invite your participation in these liturgies.

Those desiring to receive the sacrament are asked to follow these steps:

Sign in at a table in the Narthex of the church and receive a name badge. Wear it plainly visible so the priest can call you by name.
Sit near the end of a row so that the priest can reach you easily. You need not stand during the whole anointing ritual; if you are able rise when the priest is about two people away from you. If not, have your companion stand.
If you are with a family member, friend, or caregiver that person should sit with you and place a hand on your shoulder as a sign of support while you are being anointed.
One of St. Hubert’s Ministers of Care will also stand with you as a sign of community support.

It is a privilege to join you in prayer and to have you witness to us faithful and hope-filled movement to Christ, even in the midst of suffering. For more information, please contact Marie Staffa at 847-885-7700, ext. 124 or [email protected].
