Sacramental Life

Baptism
To begin the process for baptizing your child, please call Julia Galligan or Mary Cox in the parish office: 453-1061.

Reconciliation for Adults
Saturday at 9:30 a.m. contact Fr. Dick Aiken at 453-1061 ext. 112 for additional information.

First Reconciliation preparation and celebration is in 2nd grade.
First Eucharist preparation and celebration is in 2nd grade.

The program of preparation for each of these sacraments is a community and family effort - catechists, parents and other staff members are involved in preparing the children. There are parent meetings and a child and parents retreat for each of these sacraments. If your child(ren) is older than the normal age in which preparation for these sacraments takes place, please contact Joan Plumley, Director of Faith Formation 453-7150, to make special arrangements for preparation.

Adult Confirmation
Adult Catholics who desire the Sacrament of Confirmation are also invited to the Sunday morning sessions, along with the RCIA participants. For information contact Joan Plumley at 453-7150.

Youth Formation/Confirmation Preparation
High school juniors and seniors are invited to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation. Sessions are held every other Sunday evening and focus on the meaning and call of this sacrament. 9th and 10th graders who attend public schools also attend sessions on these same Sunday evenings. For information contact Sandra McCabe 453-1061 ext. 125.

Marriage
Weddings are scheduled for parishioners who have been registered for at least three months. A marriage preparation period beginning no later than 6 months before the wedding is also required. Contact Julia Galligan or Mary Cox.

Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of Healing and Strength is for persons who are seriously or chronically ill, or facing major surgery. There are three options for receiving this sacrament:

  • We strongly suggest that when possible, this sacrament be celebrated during a weekend Mass when other members of the parish community would be present to join in prayer.
  • During the weekday mass on the second Thursday of the month at 8:15 a.m.
  • Contact the parish office to make arrangements for individuals unable to leave their residence.

Funeral
See Planning for Funerals under Prayer and Worship. If calling the office during non-office hours, leave a name and phone number on the voice mail so we can contact you.
