By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1499
PRIEST ON CALL.... Available 24 hours in Sault Ste. Marie for emergencies.
This process is as follows:
When a Priest is required in an Emergency situation, please contact the Chaplains or Nursing Home Coordinators and they will contact the person's parish priest.
If he is not available, then they will contact the priest "ON CALL". This process will alleviate family members from trying to obtain a priest to anoint their loved one.
PLEASE CONSULT WITH THE HOSPITAL OR HOSPICE CHAPLAIN OR NURSING HOME IN TIME OF EMERGENCY.
Fr. Boguslaw continues to visit the sick who ask for a visit in their home every Friday call the office at 705-253-5523.
