Sacraments

Baptism of Infants

Parents intending to have their child baptized are required to participate in a Baptism class designed to deepen their understanding of this sacrament and renew their faith. Class is scheduled every other month beginning in January. We suggest that classes be attended before the birth of the child. 

First Reconciliation

Children in the second grade, both in our school and Faith Formation Program, begin preparation in the fall to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at a special penance service in early spring.  For more information on this sacrament, contact Nicole Bettini. 

First Holy Communion

Children in the second grade, both in our school and Faith Formation Program, who have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation, may prepare to receive their First Holy Communion at a special Mass every spring.  For more information on this sacrament, contact Nicole Bettini. 

Confirmation

Preparations for the Sacrament begin in our Junior High Religious Education program and continue with our early High School formation.  Candidates receive the Sacrament in 10th grade.  For more information on this sacrament, contact Nicole Bettini. 

Sacrament of Marriage

Engaged couples intending to marry should contact the parish priest at least six months before the marriage is to take place. Marriage preparation includes completion and discussion of the FOCCUS premarital inventory, attending a marriage preparation weekend, meeting with a mentor couple in the parish and preparing the wedding liturgy. 

Sacrament of the Sick

We offer a communal sacramental anointing of the sick once a year during the fall. However, if you wish or need to receive the sacrament at any other time, please call the parish office.
