When the Church cares for the sick, it serves Christ himself in the suffering members of his Mystical Body. When it follows the example of the Lord Jesus, who "when about doing good and healing all" (Acts 10:38), the Church obeys his command to care for the sick (see Mark 16:18).
The Church shows this solitude not only by visiting those who are in poor health but also by raising them up through the sacrament of anointing and by nourishing them with the Eucharist during their illenss and when they are in danger of death. Finally, the Church offers prayers for the sick to commend them to God, specially in the last crisis of life.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that have been placed on visiting residents of the Levelland Nursing Home and Lynwood Nursing home, visitation has been suspended until such time that the restrictions are lifted. If you or your family have special needs, please contact St. Michael Parish Office at 806-894-2268.
We hope to resume Nursing Home Visitation at some time in the future.
