Persons who are seriously ill or scheduled for serious medical procedures should receive the sacrament. The sacrament may be celebrated at any Mass with the community of faith. A priest is also available upon request to administer the sacrament privately at another location. In addition, St. Mary has two special Masses each year specifically for 'The Rite of the Anointing of the Sick'. The Sacrament of the Sick can be received as often as one's condition warrants.
