Annointing of the Sick or Last Rites are available to all Catholics, 24 hours a day. 

Monday through Friday 10am - 4pm please contact the parish office to make arrangements (250-753-3570).  After hours Father Waldemar may be contacted at 250-619-9766.  This number is to be used in case of emergency only.

Please keep in mind that hospital staff are not able to inquire if you are Catholic.  It is recommended that you have a card of some sort on your person indicating that you are Catholic and that if you are in danger of death to contact a priest.

If you are planning to enter the hospital for surgery, it is spiritually advantageous to contact your parish priest and to arrange to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Anointing before being admitted to the hospital.  At the very least, do tell someone in your parish office that you are going into the hospital.  We have no other way of knowing this information, as privacy legislation restricts the information that can be given to us by the facility.
