Hospital visits and Home Visit of a sick

The Lord said “I was sick and you visited me” (Mat 25: 36).

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:14-15)

If any member of your family falls ill, you should contact the priest of the parish immediately, and arrange a visit. The priest will then come, pray on the sick person, give them Holy Communion (If they are able to receive it), and anoint them with holy oil for healing of soul and body.

If one of our beloved faithful, who was attending our church and cannot be doing it anymore for health conditions, your Pastor will be pleased to visit and bring the Holy Communion to his home on regular basis.

To schedule a visit please contact the Pastor of the Church.
