Anointing of the Sick

Sacraments > Anointing of the Sick

If a Catholic is very ill, they or their family may ask a priest to anoint you with oil in a ritual of healing called Anointing of the Sick. The purpose of the sacrament is to strengthen the soul and, if needed, the remission of sins. For many Catholics, this might only occur once as part of your end-of-life care or if you have been through a life-threatening situation. But the Church has encouraged the sacrament be celebrated in other situations too, such as if you are in need of spiritual healing or about to undergo surgery. It is one way the Church continues the healing ministry of Jesus.

Please phone the Parish Office on 07 5671 7304 to make arrangements.

Monies received by the parish

In the course of the parish activities, if you are giving a donation to the parish generally, the funds will be applied to the working expenses of the parish in fulfilling its purpose of providing sacraments and spiritual support to the people of the community. Some particular services come with a suggested fee – for example, baptisms, weddings, sacramental programs, blessings, funerals, and also fees may be charged by the parish for use of parish facilities such as the hospitality centre or the parish hall, or perhaps a meeting room. The money is applied to the cost of running and maintaining these activities and for administrative costs, as well as an included offering to the priest/deacon for these blessings. If you are in financial hardship, please do speak with one of our staff or priests about your situation. The parish is a non-profit organisation, and we do care very much about looking after the resources and facilities we have, so as to be of service to the community. There are significant ongoing costs that we pay in order to ensure that we are able to provide spiritual support and services to the community all year round. People need our services at different and sometimes unexpected times in their lives, and so we need income all year round, in order to be around regularly for people whenever their need arises

The name appearing on your bank and credit card statements relating to charges from us will be - “Catholic Parish Nerang”
