                    Sacraments

                 Baptism

                 Infants and young children of parishioners are baptized on the 2nd or 4th Sunday of each month

                 (except during the Season of Lent). Adults needing baptism or reception inot the Catholic Church

                 should inquire about the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). More Information

 

                 First Communion & First Reconciliation

                 Parents are  the first teachers of their children in the faith. The participation, example and support of

                 parents is absolutely essential to the faith development of children. By offering assistance in the

                 preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist our parish community seeks

                 to support parents and offer them the context of a loving community of faith in which to nurture their

                 child's faith life. Our parish Catholic schools also play an important role in this preparation. Our Grade

                 2 teachers offer excellent catechesis (instruction) on the Sacraments throughout the entire program.
