Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213)

Baptisms are performed by appointment.
Please contact the Parish Office for arrangements.

Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offenses committed against Him, and at the same time, are reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by sin, and which by charity, by example, and by prayer, labors for their conversion.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1422)


For those that have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation, confessions are heard every Saturday from 2:45 - 3:15 pm.

The Holy Eucharist completes the Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation, participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eurcharist. At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This He did to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1322 & 1323)

The reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of Baptismal grace. For by the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are bound more perfectly to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are as true witnesses of Christ more strictly obliged, as true witnesses of Christ, to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285)

Please contact the Parish Office to learn more about Confirmation.

The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and woman established between themselves a partnership of the whole of life is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to dignity of a sacrament.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601)

Marriages are scheduled at least six months in advance.

Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyerate, and diaconate.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1536)

By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayers of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.
(Catechsm of Catholic Church 1499)
