Mass for World Day of Prayer for the Sick @ St. Catherine of Siena Parish

February 11 is the liturgical memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, and World Day of Prayer for the Sick.  On that day, St. Catherine of Siena Parish will celebrate a special Mass for anyone who is seriously ill, together with their family and/or caregivers.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be administered at Mass to those who are ill, and there will be a blessing of caregivers as well. Everyone is welcome to this special Mass of healing, strength, and hope.

Attendance is encouraged especially among those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age; those who are soon to have surgery which will include the use of anesthesia; elderly people who have become notably weakened even if no notable illness is present; and seriously ill children who have sufficient use of reason to be strengthened by the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
