A Redemptorist Parish
Bluffton, OH
St. Mary's will have two sacramental anointing services each year, during Adven and Lent. The services will take place at the end of all the Masses on two weekends of the year. Parishioners will be notified when the anointing services will take place and if any assistance is required to help those to be anointed help will be provided.
Who should be anointed?

It is also for those who are awaiting or recovering from critical surgery; the elderly who are notably weakened and dealing with the debilitating effects of aging, even if no serious illness exists; those failing with major chronic ailment like cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis; those with serious mental illness; or sick children who have achieved sufficient maturity to understand the nature of the sacrament and desire to receive it.
