Catholic sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant, and important for Christians.

They are highly symbolic rituals that are grounded in our religious history, celebrate what God is accomplishing now, and point to our hopes for our future.

Baptism
Celebrated during or after any Mass on the weekend. Contact the parish pastor at least two (2) weeks in advance of the baptism. Please call the rectory to schedule.

Reconciliation / Penance
The whole Church, as a priestly people, acts in different ways in the work of reconciliation — formerly known as "confession" — that has been entrusted to it by the Lord. Not only does the Church call sinners to repentance by preaching the word of God, but also intercedes for them and helps penitents with maternal care acknowledging and confessing sins to obtain the mercy of God, who can alone forgive sins.

Further, the Church becomes itself the instrument of the conversion and absolution of the penitent through the ministry entrusted by Christ to the apostles and their successors.
