Sacrament of the sick

About twice a year the SVP Conference at St Clare's 'ship in' the sick, elderly and housebound of the parish for a Mass which includes the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Afterwards there is a meal prepared and served by the SVP in the Parish Centre.

The parish clergy celebrated this Mass and anointed the sick in fulfilment of what is written in the Letter of St James: Are there any sick among you? Let them send for the priests of the Church; let the priests pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick person. This outreach to our sick and senior parishioners is a sign of the Lord's concern for them.
