Tonight we will have a Communal Anointing of the Sick after the 6:30 p.m. Mass. Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament that is received by those who are ill or suffering. By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and courage, and his or her suffering is united with the suffering of Christ for the building up of the Church. – from USCCB
The youth program will be discussing "Why we suffer" and the fundamental problem of pain. We will do so by discussing emotional, sexual, physical, and spiritual suffering and God's answer to what many times seems like pointless struggle.
