As part of the Advent season of preparation, Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish will be hosting a Healing Mass on Saturday, December 3 at 11am in the Main Church.
Although the Sacrament termed “Anointing of the Sick” is normally associated with the terminally ill, this Mass represents a broader outreach to those who are troubled in body, mind, or spirit. As such, it takes a holistic approach towards the well-being of the individual in a communal setting that acknowledges our need for healing, forgiveness, and acceptance by God and by one another. Healing, and the peace it brings, is but another step in the journey of the Advent season leading up to Christmas.
The Mass is a religious celebration, but it is free and open to all who feel a need for healing.
