Our Catholic Life & Identity
On 29th November the 12.10pm Cathedral Mass will be offered for those who are suffering the effects of serious illness or the infirmity of old age. Anyone in such need is very welcome to receive the Anointing of the Sick. The Anointing of the Sick is attested by Saint James: “Is
anyone among you sick? Let him call in the presbyters of the Church and let them pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord” (James 5:14-15). All parishioners are very welcome to attend the Mass of Anointing. It is a wonderful opportunity for the sick and
elderly to receive the Anointing, but it is also a great opportunity for everyone to show support for those who are ill and suffering.
