COVID-19 Anointing Corp

Parishioners across the Archdiocese are invited to prayerfully support those who are suffering most intensely, usually in sterile isolation, as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Turn on notifications in the Archdiocese’s Join in Prayer App and, upon receiving
notification that an anointing is about to occur, take a moment to pray:

  • One Our Father for the patient who is in danger of death, as they prepare to meet our
    Heavenly Father face-to-face;
  • One Hail Mary for the patient’s family and friends, asking the Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Sorrows, to intercede to comfort them; and
  • One Glory Be in thanksgiving for the priest and for his protection, as well as the medical team attending to the patient.
