Baptism
Celebrated on the second and fourth Sunday of each month. Parents attend one preparation session; please contact the office at least a month ahead.
The sacraments
Encountering Christ through the sacraments
Each one begins the same way, with a conversation with a priest or with the parish office.
First Holy Communion
Two years of catechism, usually from Standard II. Registration for the new year opens in June.
Confirmation
Preparation runs through the year for candidates in Standard IX and above, with the Archbishop or his delegate conferring the sacrament.
Reconciliation
Fridays, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM and 6:00 – 7:00 PM; Saturdays, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, and at any time by appointment. If it has been many years, say so; that is the easiest confession a priest hears.
Marriage
Give the parish office six months' notice. Both parties attend the archdiocesan marriage preparation course before the date is fixed.
Anointing of the Sick
For someone seriously ill or in danger of death, call a priest at any hour. A priest will come. Do not wait until the last moment.

Holy Orders
If you are considering priesthood or religious life, speak to one of our priests. The conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
