What is the Anointing of the Sick
The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is administered to those who are gravely ill or about to undergo a serious operation that puts the person at serious risk of death. The primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.

Please note: If a loved one is admitted to a Fresno area hospital other than St. Agnes, there is no Catholic priest on their staff. There are however Catholic priests available to serve families in emergency situations. If you are in need of a priest while in the hospital, please ask the nurses’ station to contact the hospital chaplaincy office or the hospital operator to locate the on-call priest.
