Eucharist:
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.
Eucharistic Liturgies are:
|
Saturday
Evening
Sunday
Morning
Thursday & Friday
Holy Days

|
4:00 PM
11:00 AM

|
Reconciliation: The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also
known as the Sacrament of Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has
three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find
God's unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to
forgive others. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered each
Saturday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM, or by appointment. Communal Penance
Services are held during Lent and Advent. |
|
|
|
Anointing of the Sick: The
Catholic sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last
Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only
for physical but also for mental and emotional sickness. If you or a
member of your family would like to receive this Sacrament please
contact the Parish Office. |
|
 |
|
Baptism: 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, in Baptism one becomes a member of the Church. Please contact the Parish Office for more information
about scheduling a Baptism. |
|
|
|
Confirmation: Confirmation is
a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian
commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and
Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament
of faith in God's fidelity to us. Contact the Parish Office to lean more
about receiving this Sacrament. |
|
 |
|
|
Marriage: 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
Christ's love for His Church. Contact the Parish Office to
schedule an appointment to meet with a member of the Pastoral Staff to
discuss your marriage plans. Please note that there is a six
(6) month long
preparation period for this Sacrament. |
|
|
|
Holy Orders: In the Sacrament
of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest or deacon being ordained vows to lead
other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments, by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to
holiness. For more information about religious vocations contact the
Parish Office. |
