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: |
4:00 PM |
|
Sunday |
11:00 AM |
|
Thursday |
9:00 AM (2nd & 3rd Thu. 11:00 AM) |
|
Friday |
9:00 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.
