ST504 THE SACRAMENTS OF HEALING

In this course, the sacraments of Penance and the Anointing of the Sick are each examined in their historical, theological, and canonical dimensions. Attention is also given to the liturgical dimension and pastoral application of both of these sacraments in the life of the Roman Catholic Church. The course is designed for those preparing for ordination to the Roman Catholic priesthood and so includes a practicum in the celebration of these sacraments. Successful completion of all courses leading up to the Fourth Theology year of seminary formation is a prerequisite for enrollment in this course.
