Archdiocesan Guidelines
anointing of the sick
This should be received by any Catholic who has a serious illness, or is facing serious surgery, or is seriously weakened by age or illness. One does not have to be dying to receive the Sacrament of the Sick. Often the Sacrament brings about an improvement, not only in the recipient's spiritual and mental condition, but also physically, enabling them to benefit from the medical care they are receiving.
Please contact Fr Marsden.
funerals
Your undertaker will contact Fr Marsden to make arrangements for a Funeral Mass or Service, as you wish, followed by committal at a cemetery or crematorium.
