Sacraments
Baptism

Baptism is the most important of all the sacraments because it is "the door to life and to the kingdom of God".

  • Pre-Baptismal Class is required.

Reconciliation

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others. "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the Gospel".

First Holy Communion

At the Eucharist we are and form the one Body of Christ.  We are made one with him and with one another.  The expression "breaking of the bread" was used by the first Christians to profess that belief.  Second graders receive First Communion.  Adults receive First Communion as part of the R.C.I.A. process.

Confirmation

Confirmation with Baptism and Eucharist is a sacrament of initiation.  Confirmation is a deepening of baptismal gifts.  Confirmation roots us more deeply in our identity as God's children, unites us more firmly with Christ, increases in us the gifts of the Holy Spirit, binds us more closely to the Church and gives us special strength to bear witness to our faith.

Marriage

The Sacrament of Matrimony is a covenant relationship in which a couple administers the sacrament to one another. This sacrament is intended to bring unity between the spouses and is open to new life. The couple commits themselves to each other until "death do us part."

  • Arrangements must be made at least six months in advance.

  • Pre-Marriage instructions are required.

Anointing of the Sick

The celebration of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick continues the healing ministry of Christ.  The Anointing of the Sick is not just a sacrament for those who are at the point of death.  It "is the proper sacrament for those Christians whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age".

  • Please contact the rectory Office if you need a priest for the Sacrament of the Sick.
