About
If you or a loved one is hospitalized or homebound, please contact the rectory to arrange for the reception of the Eucharist and/or for the Anointing of the Sick. The priests, deacons and Eucharistic ministers visit patients at Milford Hospital on a regular basis. If some one is confined at home or in one of the other area hospitals, please call the parish office to notify us.
Traditionally referred to as Extreme Unction or Last Rites, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick was previously most commonly administered to the dying, for the remission of sins and the provision of spiritual strength and health. In modern times, however, its use has been expanded to all who are gravely ill or are about to undergo a serious operation, and the Church stresses a secondary effect of the sacrament: to help a person recover his health. Like Confession and Holy Communion, to which it is closely linked, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be repeated as often as is necessary.
