Baptism

Baptism is the sacrament where we enter into the Church and are washed of our original sin. You may request to be baptized at any age, or request to have your young child/infant baptized.

​​

First Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation (Children)

​Children baptized in the Catholic church can continue their faith journey by preparing for their First Reconciliation and First Communion. Older children who have received the Eucharist and are ready to fully join the church can participate in the parish Confirmation program to deepen their faith and commitment to the church.

​

​First Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation (Adults)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process designed for those who are interested in joining Catholic church or baptized persons who did not receive all the sacraments as a child. It provides an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Catholicism, ask questions, and seek to open your life and heart more to Christ.

​

Marriage

​The Sacrament of Marriage is a sacred covenant in which a man and woman commit to a lifelong partnership, reflecting Christ's love for the Church.

Pastoral Visits for Communion or Anointing of the Sick

​The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is a sacred rite that offers spiritual and physical healing, comfort, and strength to those who are seriously ill or nearing the end of life, through the anointing with holy oil and prayer. Homebound parishioners may request a pastoral visit to receive annointing or communion from a parish priest or formed parishioner.
