The
Sacrament of
Anointing of the Sick


 

The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, also called Extreme Unction, is when a priest prays and blesses you with Holy Oil when you are seriously sick or when you are in danger of dying.  The sacrament gives you a special grace and strength.

If you are conscious, you should make a confession before death.  If you aren't conscious, this sacrament will gain pardon for you.

You can receive this sacrament more than once.
