Anyone who is planning to enter a hospital for surgery, or is experiencing a prolonged and serious illness, or is very weak due to the advancement of age, should call Darlene at the Ascension Parish Center at (410) 242-2292 or Mary at the St. Augustine Parish center at (410) 796-1520 and arrange for the Sacrament of Anointing the Sick.
Remember that if you or a family member is hospitalized, you must give the hospital
explicit permission to inform the parish of your hospitalization. Federal hospital laws prevent hospitals from giving visiting clergy access to patient information without the patient's expressed consent.
