The sacrament is celebrated four times a year at the 11:00 a.m. Thursday Mass (usually in January, March, June, and September). It is administered to those seriously ill, injured or anticipating surgery, or old age. Celebration of the sacrament can be scheduled through the Christian Service Office.
Not as sick as we formerly thought. The sacrament is most fruitful when you are not so sick as to be unable to participate in the prayers and ritual actions. The rite states that the sacrament is for "those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age."
