For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. Parents must receive instruction prior to their child's Baptism from Father Robert Murphy. Contact Father Robert Murphy at the parish rectory for more information.

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance or Confession) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others. Second grade and older students who have been baptized are eligible to prepare for and receive this sacrament.

Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God. Second grade and older students who have received the sacrament of Reconciliation are eligible to prepare for and receive this sacrament.

If interested in receiving Communion at home, please contact us at the parish office.

Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

For current Confirmation preparation, registration and eligibility information, please see the latest parish bulletin and contact Elizabeth Stuart.

In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, a priest is ordained to serve the Church by celebrating the sacraments, proclaiming the Gospel and helping people grow in holiness. Diocesan priests make promises at ordination; religious priests also profess vows as members of their religious institutes.

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values. Those who wish to be married in the church should contact Father Robert Murphy at least six months prior to their planned wedding date. Couples will be required to complete pre-cana classes that are scheduled periodically throughout the state.
