Sacraments

    The Sacrament of BAPTISM presupposes sufficient instruction according to the age of the candidate, and a desire to practice the faith.  Expectant parents are encouraged to ask the Pastor for the Church's blessing for a safe and healthy delivery.  Call the Church Office to schedule instruction and the service.  Pray for all the unborn!     

    The Sacrament of MARRIAGE is a wonderful commitment of life and love, and the Church welcomes those who are called to this noble vocation.  Christian marriage involves a couple's serious deliberation, prayer, and planning.  The diocesan policy requires all engaged couples contact the Pastor at least 6 months before setting any wedding date.

    The Sacrament of RECONCILIATION is offered Saturdays, 3pm to 4pm, every 1st Friday after Mass, and most any reasonable time by appointment.  Check the website and bulletin for additional times.

   The Sacrament of ANOINTING OF THE SICK is strongly encouraged for those seriously ill, the elderly, or those facing surgery.  This sacrament of Our Lord's healing & comfort is available the last weekend of each month, or privately if necessary.  Family members & close friends should be invited to attend and participate in order to offer prayers, love, & support.

     R.C.I.A. (Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a process of conversion and invitation whereby individuals journey together in faith; sharing experiences while discerning God's call in becoming Catholic.  Call the Church Office for day and time.
