Anointing of the Sick

Please contact the parish office to request the Anointing of the Sick.  It is recommended that you contact the parish office several days prior to going into the hospital for a scheduled surgery. 

Also prior to hospitalization, it is recommended that you consider filling out a healthcare power of attorney approved by the Diocese of Charleston (link to Diocese healthcare power of attorney form). 

A good summary of hospital stays for Catholics is provided by this brief article: Fact of Faith, Hospital Stays

Another good resource is, We Are the Lord’s: A Catholic Guide to Difficult End-of-Life Questions, by author Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD published by Tan Books. A preview can be found here.
