The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formally known as Last Rites, can be administered by a priest to anyone who is struggling with an illness or preparing for a serious surgery. They do not need to wait until imminent death or extreme circumstances. You may call after hours on our Parish Office emergency line at 732-826-2771 (or the office during regular business hours) when the ill person is at home. If he or she is in the hospital, please ask for a priest on duty to be called immediately.
The Diocese of Metuchen provides Catholic priests to serve at all local hospitals.
