BONAVENTURE See Frequently Asked Questions about getting married at St. Bonaventure. Penance/Reconciliation Call the parish any time for one who is seriously ill. Anointing ceremonies are held twice a year at the church. Anointing of the sick was previously known as "Extreme Unction" or "Last Rites". And for that reason people were often hesitant to call the priest. This consoling sacrament is God's gift to those who are ill, elderly or facing serious surgery. If possible call the priest before an emergency begins. Plan to have the family present if at all possible. It is a healing experience for all! |
