Anointing of the sick

What I need to do to receive the Anointing of the Sick?

If the faithful (either young, adult or elderly) is in a critical health situation or needs to face a serious operation and want to receive the Sacrament, he/she needs to call the priest in order to arrange the meeting.

What is the Anointing of the sick?

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be received by any Catholic whose health is in a critical state.

One can receive the Anointing of the Sick several times in one’s life. Therefore it makes sense for young people to ask for this sacrament also, if, for example, they are about to undergo a serious operation. On such occasions many Catholics combine the Anointing of the Sick with a (general) confession; in case the operation fails, they want to go to meet God with a clear conscience.
