Mass with Holy Anointing of the Sick
Saturday, February 11 at 11 am. February 11 is World Day of the Sick, a day to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. Who Should Receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick? The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for all baptized who face a serious illness or surgery or who are impaired by old age. The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick may be received by any member of the faithful who has reached the age of reason (Cf. CIC, CAN. 1004) “whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age,” (PCS, no. 8) including serious mental sickness (Cf. PCS, no. 53). A sick person may be anointed before surgery whenever a serious illness is the reason for the surgery and elderly people may be anointed if they have become notably weakened even though no serious illness is present. (Cf. PCS, nos. 11-12) “Anointing is to be conferred on sick people who, although they have lost consciousness or the use of reason, would, as Christian believers, have at least implicitly asked for it when they were in control of their faculties.” (PCS, no. 14)
Ordination to the Diaconate for Sam Habibi.
Sam Habibi will be ordained a deacon on Friday, February 17, 2023, at a Mass to be celebrated by Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston, at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The newly ordained deacon will serve and preach on Sunday, February 19, at 11 am and 5 pm. After the morning mass, there will be a brief reception in the FLC to visit with him and his wife, Milly Habibi. There is no reception after the 5 pm Mass because there is a lecture about Pope Benedict XVI in the FLC at 7 pm. Please join us at both events.
