This sacrament is only bestowed upon those who are seriously ill or suffering, which then unites the inflicted with Christ’s passion. Anointing the forehand and hands of the person with chrism while a priest administers a special blessing is how this sacrament is received. This special blessing strengthens the recipient and allows them to grow connection with God in both mind and body during a time of suffering.

To request the sacrament of Anointing, please contact the parish office at (317) 926-7359. Outside of business hours, contact (765) 301-0794.
