February 3, 2022WORLD DAY OF THE SICK
World Day of the Sick, is celebrated on February 11, an observation introduced by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes and is an important opportunity for those who serve in Catholic health ministry to reflect on caring for those who are sick as well as those who provide care to them.
On Friday, February 11, at the 9am Mass at Holy Name of Jesus, Fr. Daniele will administer the Sacrament of the Sick to anyone wishing to receive it.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for all who face a serious illness or surgery, are impaired by old age, are suffering physically, mentally or spiritually, or who seek God’s healing.
