Sacraments

Baptism

Baptism is the celebration of new life in the Christian community and the gateway to all other sacraments. To schedule a baptism, contact the pastor.
Baptism Guidelines

Reconcilliation

Reconciliation restores our relationship with our heavenly Father and our human neighbors. Reconciliation is offered each Saturday at 4:00 p.m. or by appointment. Children generally celebrate their first reconciliation during the fall of their second grade year.

First Eucharist

First Eucharist celebrates the receiving of Our Lord in the Holy Sacrament for the first time. It is normally celebrated during the spring of second grade. Children are required to attend religious education for one year prior to celebrating first communion. Contact the pastoral associate to register.

Confirmation

Confirmation is an acceptance of the faith proclaimed at baptism and celebrates maturing faith. Confirmation for those baptized as infants is normally celebrated in eighth grade or high school. Those people should contact the youth minister. Confirmation of adults is covered by the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process. Contact the Parish Life Coordinator for more information about this.

Matrimony

Matrimony is the sacrament uniting a man and women to live in God's grace as husband and wife. Weddings should be scheduled a year in advance to allow time for marriage preparation classes. Contact the pastor to schedule a wedding.

Holy Orders

Holy Orders calls on men to serve as ministers in the church. Those interested in studying for the permanent diaconate or priesthood should contact the archdiocesan office.

Annointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick calls on the Spirit for the grace to endure sickness and suffering. Anointing can be celebrated at any time. Contact the pastor for anointing prior to going to the hospital for surgery or before your illness becomes critical. Occasionally, anointing services will be offered at area churches.
