Size: 5 ¼ X 8

The new translation of the Order of the Anointing of the Sick and of their Pastoral Care was recently approved for use in the dioceses of the United States of America beginning February 11, 2026.

LTP’s edition of the newly translated Order of the Anointing of the Sick and of their Pastoral Care provides ministers with a beautiful and dignified means of offering the Church’s ritual prayer for visiting, praying with, and offering the sacraments to those who are sick and dying.
