Tony Evers of Cassella receives a blessing of holy oil from the Rev. Ken Schroeder during a Mass of the Anointing of the Sick at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Maria Stein on Wednesday. The Catholic church looks upon the anointing as a celebration of Jesus' promise of life. Anyone, regardless of age, can receive the sacrament, which is often offered during the Lenten season.
