Sacrament of the Sick

Anointing the sick
On Saturday 2nd September Bishop Michael Campbell came to celebrate Mass and with Fr Steve administer the sacrament of the sick to over 40 parishioners.  Despite the wind and rain parents brought children, adults brought their parents and friends to enable them to receive this healing sacrament which included calling down of the holy spirit and laying on of hands followed by anointing the forehead and hands.
