World Day of the Sick February 11

On Sunday, February 11, the Church honours Our Lady of Lourdes. This is also the 26th World Day of the Sick. This day highlights the healing ministry of the Church and recognizes the service of those involved in health care. The Church prays for those who are sick or suffering and for doctors, nurses, health care workers, and pastoral caregivers who work to restore health to those afflicted with illness and disease

On this Sunday, Bishop Bergie will celebrate a communal celebration of the Sacrament of the Sick at 2:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Catherine of Alexandria. All are welcome to attend, especially the sick and those who care for the sick.
