Blessing of the Sick Service
St. Francis of Assisi Parish offers a monthly Blessing of the Sick Service on the first Friday of the month at 2 PM. A similar service is celebrated by our Brothers in Detroit in commemoration of Venerable Fr. Solanus Casey, OFM Capuchin.
The Blessing of the Sick Service addresses the widespread need for many kinds of healing in people’s lives. It incorporates Scripture, prayers of intercession and thanksgiving, a blessing with a relic of the True Cross, and Communion. This Blessing has ancient roots in the Church, dating back to the 6th century abbot, Saint Maurus.
The monthly service is held on the first Friday of each month at 2:00 PM. Confession will be available beforehand at 1:30 PM.
