Baptism: Parents who are expecting should contact the office as soon
as they can so that the preparation for Baptism can begin. Baptismal
classes happen throughout the year; however, there is preliminary
information that is required before this preparation so it is
beneficial to begin eary.
Confirmation: Children and Adults who have not been
Confirmed and who desire this can contact the staff to see what the
requirements of this are.
Eucharist: Classes are provided for Confirmation and
First Eucharist for children in grades 2 through5. It is a requirement
that these children have attended faith formation and that their
parents have a willingness to assist in their children's faith
development. Watch for the schedule in the early fall.
Reconciliation: Classes are provided for Reconciliation for
children in grades 2 through 5. It is a requirement that these
children have attended faith formation and that their
parents have a willingness to assist in their children's faith
development. Watch for the schedule in the early fall.
Anointing of the Sick: The sacrament of healing, Anointing,
is available to those who are in need of it at any time. The parish provides
this sacrament at healing Masses within the vicariate at various times
throughout the year. Those who have just learned that they are in need of
surgery or who are suffering from a difficult illness may request the
sacrament at anytime. It was once known as the"Last Rites" which could
only be given at the end of one's life. This is not the understanding
of the sacrament of Anointing.
Marriage: Couples who have become engaged should contact the
parish as soon as possible. There are many guidelines to have in mind
for the preparation of a sacramental, Catholic wedding. It is
extremely helpful for couples to know what these guidelines are before
they get too far in their plans.
Decree of Nullity: People who have been previously married and
are no longer are invited to contact the office regarding how they
might proceed in their lives as Catholics. What is commonly called an
Annulment may be discussed in their individual situations. The
process is one of healing.
