BAPTISM - Baptisms are celebrated at a weekend Mass, allowing the parish family the opportunity to celebrate God’s gift of a new child along with the child’s parents, or after a 10:30 Mass on any Sunday.
FIRST PENANCE & FIRST COMMUNION are received on the second grade level by our elementary school children and students in our PSR program.
CONFIRMATION - This Sacrament
is offered every other year on the odd numbered years, with the Bishop presiding.
For our parish, this takes place during 7th and 8th grade levels. Adults who
have also missed the sacrament are welcomed.
MARRIAGE – Marriage
is one of the most significant steps that an individual can take in his or her
lifetime. In marrying you forever change your life and destiny – for you
give your very self away to another, promising to love and honor that person
for the rest of your lives.
In marriage couples are partners with God in the very act of creation, His means
of blessing that human community with new members.
Marriage is at its very heart a spiritual exchange. As Christians we view marriage
as a Sacrament, a meeting point with Christ on life’s journey.
Because marriage is such an important step, preparation is essential. When you
choose to marry, please contact your priest at least 4 months before the marriage
date.
ANOINTING OF THE SICK – This sacrament is a prayer for healing and confers the forgiveness of sins. It is offered on request for those more than ordinarily ill or those going for surgery. Medical custom today normally admits patients on the day of their surgery so it is not possible to be anointed at the hospital. We will gladly administer the sacrament following any Mass or in your home if you cannot travel.
