SACRAMENTS
There are seven Sacraments of the Church which touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation
Sacraments of Healing: Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick
Sacraments of Service: Holy Orders and Matrimony
Baptism
Baptisms take place on the second and fourth Sunday of the month after the 11:30 Mass. Godparents need to submit a current letter of eligibility from their parish, stating that they are practicing Catholics in good standing. Click here to read more about eligibility.
New parents and their child(ren) are invited to a Baptism Supper held at the rectory on the second Thursday of the month.
Reconciliation
Holy Communion
Confirmation
Holy Orders
Matrimony
