As we read in the  Gospels, people came to Jesus for healing.  Those afflicted with blindness, leprosy, the deaf, the dumb, those who were crippled  and suffered from every kind of affliction found healing in the presence of the Lord. After his death and resurrection, Jesus instructed his followers to continue his ministry of preaching and healing.

In the Letter of James we read, “Are there any who are sick among you? Let them send for the priests of the Church and let the priests pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick persons.”

We continue the saving action of the risen Lord in the Sacrament of the Sick. Anyone in the community who is seriously ill, is preparing for an operation, or has chronic illness or is advanced in age is welcome to receive this healing sacrament.

Simply contact the parish office to arrange to celebrate the Sacrament of the Sick (313-537-5770).

Occasionally the parish will also have a communal celebration of the Sacrament of the Sick at a special healing mass.
