Who Can be Anointed?
The Anointing of the Sick “is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived.” CCC 1514
Please call the office to make an appointment to be anointed by a priest. 440-234-6830 x100
If you need someone to be anointed outside of office hours, please contact the parish office at 440-234-6830 and wait to hear for the prompt if this is a sacramental emergency.
“In case of grave illness . . .
If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person’s condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. the same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1515
*Please only call the emergency line if someone is close to death and needs to be anointed.
Any other emergencies please dial 911 or the non emergency local police number 440-234-1234.
