The Sacraments of Initiation

Baptism: What a wonderful gift and miracle is a new baby for the family life and love! We share God's loving plans for the parents, Godparents, family, and infant to be baptized. Classes are asked of the parents and Godparents. Call Deacon Chuck for more information.

First Reconciliation (Confession) and First Holy Communion: Offered usually during the child's second grade year. Classes September through May, with First Reconciliation in mid-year and First Communion in the Spring. Parental instruction, too. Helper teachers are needed, as well. Please contact Deacon Chuck.

Religious Education, Grades K-8: We strive to offer classes for the children seeking them each year.  We will offer parental instruction, as well, to assist the parents as the primary religious teachers for their children. Teachers and helpers needed for this ministry.  Classes offered September through May.   Please contact Deacon Chuck.

RCIA (Rite of the Christian Initiation of Adults): This is a year long process of guiding non-Catholics into full communion with our Catholic Church, going from late September through May. The RCIA team shares our faith with those moving into our faith. Meetings are on Wednesday evenings. Catholics wishing to renew their faith may join us, as well. Please contact Deacon Chuck or Glenn Rymsza.

The Sick or Homebound

We take Communion to those who cannot join us at Mass. Please call Deacon Chuck at the parish if you would like Communion. If you are having surgery or are seriously ill, call the Pastor for the Sacrament of the Sick.

Sacrament of Matrimony

Six months notice is needed to allow for the needed paperwork and proper marriage preparation classes. Married couples are invited to help in this important work of offering good preparation classes. Contact the Pastor or Deacon Chuck.
