Baptism
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” – Matthew 28:19-20
“Baptism incorporates us into Christ and forms us into God’s people. This first sacrament pardons all our sins, rescues us from the power of darkness, and brings us to the dignity of adopted children, a new creation through water and the Holy Spirit. Hence we are called and are indeed the children of God.” – Christian Initiation – General Introduction, 2

"The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick: This sacred anointing of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacrament of the New Testament. It is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is recommended to the faithful and promulgated by James the apostle and brother of the Lord." -- CCC 1511
"The Anointing of the Sick “is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived.”" -- CCC 1514
The priests of the Cathedral seek to offer the Annointing of the Sick to those in need. If the need is not an emergency situation, then contact Fr. John (859-269-2286), or Fr. Wheeler (859-266-2347) to request an anointing. If there is a sacramental emergency that involves the danger of death, then contact the priest who has the sacramental emergency cell phone (859-230-9157) and they will contact you back in short order to work out arrangements for an anointing.
