Healing Ministry

Many shy away from this beautiful sacrament, often noting that they express their sorrow directly to God. It can be difficult to admit one's faults to someone else. But those who do get the sacramental grace of Jesus' mercy expressed directly through another human being, the priest, and get to hear the beautiful words of forgiveness that close the sacrament. 

If you haven't been in awhile, know that we are always happy to help. Father can explain each step as you go along; just let him know you need some guidance!

Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing that brings Christ’s strength, comfort, and healing to those who are suffering in spirit, mind, or body. It is for people of any age who are getting ready for surgery, those who are ill (physically, psychologically, spiritually), and for anyone near death. It can be celebrated anywhere, and it can be received more than once.

Join us at 7pm the fourth Monday of every month for the English language healing prayer service (prayer available in Spanish). Clergy and lay ministers trained to pray for spiritual, physical, and emotional needs are available in small teams to pray with you. Father is available to provide the Anointing of the Sick, as well.

Únase al padre Murray todos los martes. La misa seguida de una oración de sanación comienza a las 7pm/19:00.

By appointment

For those who seek to deepen their relationship with Christ and transform their lives, individual consultations are available, and if appropriate, an initial healing prayer session may be offered. 

Brought to MQOA by Fr. Murray, The Five Keys is a model of healing prayer meant to guide people to deeper healing through Jesus. It is a safe, loving, and effective prayer model that helps people deeply embrace the Good News of the Gospel. 

In these hour-long prayer sessions, the person is guided to make five prayerful responses to Jesus that release the power of the Gospel into their hearts. Each key helps to access God's grace and unlock the door to freedom from unhealthy behaviors and emotional bondage.

Those who have experienced this, especially at MQOA, testify to the life-changing healing that follows.
