    • Celebrating the Sacraments

    Baptism: Formal entry into our community of faith is celebrated for babies and small children almost every Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm. In order to participate in this celebration, the parents must register at the Pastoral Center for our pre-baptism program.
    ...Older teenagers and adults are prepared for entry into the Catholic community through the RCIA process. Please call the Pastoral Center for further details.

    Confirmation: Children in the eighth grade are prepared to celebrate this Sacrament through programs of the Catholic school or the Religious Education Office. Older people can prepare for this important Sacrament through the RCIA process which can be explained at the Pastoral Center.

    Eucharist: Coming together to celebrate the Mass is the center of our community’s life.
    ....The times for these weekly and daily celebrations are Monday-Friday, 7:30am and 9:15am, Saturdays, 9:15am and 5:00pm, Sundays, 7:30am, 9:00am (Family Liturgy), 10:30am, and Noon.

    Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament: : Thursdays, 2pm-4pm and Fridays from 8pm-10pm.

    Nocturnal Adoration: First Friday: 8pm-9pm

    Reconciliation (confession, penance): Saturdays from 4:00pm-5:00pm in the Church and at any time in the Pastoral Center with a priest.

    Anointing of the Sick: In the case of a serious, unexpected illness, please contact the Pastoral Center at any time of the day or night to arrange for a priest to pray with the person who is sick.
    ...For those about to enter the hospital, we also celebrate this Sacrament after the 9:15am mass on Saturday morning.

    Matrimony: Couples planning to marry should contact a priest or deacon before you visit a reception hall and at least nine months before your proposed wedding date. Either the bride or the groom must be a registered member of this parish. Call the Pastoral Center for further details.

    Holy Orders: Because we recognize the extreme shortage of priests today, we commit ourselves to praying regularly to the Holy Spirit for new vocations among the young men of our parish.
