Annointing of the Sick
This Sacrament is not just for those in danger of death, but for anyone who suffers from serious or chronic physical or emotional illness or who struggles with the infirmities of age. Those scheduled for a surgery or hospital stay may request this sacrament prior to entering the hospital. Please call the parish office to speak to one of the priests to arrange a time, usually after 6:30 a.m. or 8 a.m. Mass in the Chapel.
Pastoral Care of the Sick
The Pastoral Care Ministry at Immaculate Conception exists to give spiritual care to our parishioners. We visit the sick, those who are homebound, those in adult homes or nursing homes. We visit people after they have been hospitalized and follow up with hospice patients. When the Church cares for the sick, it serves Christ himself in the suffering members of his Mystical Body. The Church shows this by visiting those in poor health, raising them up through the sacrament of anointing, and by nourishing them with the Eucharist during their illness. Call the Parish Office to talk to Kathy Prewitt or Mary Jane Smith about receiving services from this ministry or volunteering for the ministry. Call 561-6611.
Communion Calls
Holy Communion is brought once a week to those who are sick or unable to attend church on a regular basis. Please call the Parish Office to arrange a visit.
Hospital Visitation
If you are hospitalized, we would like to visit and pray with you during your stay. It is of great importance that members of Immaculate Conception who are hospitalized NOTIFY the parish office. Due to HIPPA Law, hospitals no longer automatically inform parishes when a parishioner is admitted. Remember, our Priests, Pastoral Associates, etc. will be happy to visit you if we are notified. Please call 561-6611.
