On Sunday, Feb. 15, Archbishop Weisenburger celebrated Mass with the anointing of the sick with the faithful gathered at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit. The annual Mass, which takes place around the World Day of the Sick, was assisted by members of the Knights and Dames of the Order of Malta.
The Knights and Dames of Malta are a lay religious order dedicated to escorting pilgrims who are sick to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France every May.
The World Day of the Sick was instituted in 1992 by St. John Paul II, and since then, bishops around the world have customarily administered the sacrament to members of the faithful.
