The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, or Extreme Unction, is a sacrament that is:

A.    Given to any Catholic, practicing or not.

B.     Who is in danger of death due to illness, injury, or risky surgery.

C.     While one needs to be in danger of death, they do not have to be actively dying to receive the sacrament; therefore, loved ones should not wait until a person is dying to call a priest.

D.    The sacrament is part of the Last Rites when a person is actively dying.
