Sacrament of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Sick, sometimes known as Extreme Unction, is the Church's special gift of grace and blessing often administered at the point when someone has not long to live. However, this great Sacrament is also one that is used to promote healing for those who are sick in mind and body.
In the case of an emergency, when you know of someone who requires the urgent assistance of one of the priests to administer the Sacrament of the Sick, please call the Parish House immediately at anytime, day or night on 0141 876 1553.
