The Western Association of the Order of Malta, together with the Cathedral, will host the Mass and Anointing of the Sick on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 12:30 PM at the Cathedral. All are welcome – especially those in need of this blessing who are suffering in body or spirit.
The World Day of the Sick is an observance, in the Catholic Church intended for "prayer and sharing, of offering one's suffering for the good of the Church and of reminding everyone to see in his sick brother or sister the face of Christ". The day was instituted on 13 May 1992 by Saint John Paul II and since 1993 it is celebrated on February 11, also the memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes.
