The Lord Will Raise Them Up

Tues, Feb 3, 10:45a-Noon & Weds, Feb 4, 1:30p-2:45p, Online

As the Church receives a new translation of the ritual book for pastoral care of the sick and their anointing (optional use beginning Feb 11, required by Easter Sunday), join this online gathering of priests, deacons, and lay ministers engaged in pastoral care of the sick to consider not only the new ritual book, but the broader pastoral care that the Church offers to the sick and dying.  

Fr. Michael Lewis, Director of the Office of Divine Worship for the Diocese of El Paso and a veteran pastor and teacher, will lead us in exploring the pastoral, historical, theological, liturgical, and practical dimensions of this important sacrament and ministry.
