Sacraments, cont'd.                                                                               
 

Reconciliation:
Every Saturday from 4 – 4:30 p.m., a priest is available in the rooms at the back of church for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If this time is not convenient, this Sacrament can be celebrated at anytime by calling the rectory for a personal appointment.
For our parish children, the celebration of First Reconciliation is celebrated in conjunction with our First Eucharist program. The program introduces children to the reconciling process between themselves, God and others. For adults, First Reconciliation is celebrated as part of the RCIA process.

Anointing of the Sick:
There is nothing more healing than prayer, and this Sacrament helps to strengthen both the body and spirit of those who are suffering. We would appreciate being informed about the sick or aged who are unable to come to church or who are hospitalized so that we can share this beautiful Sacrament. When one is seriously ill, please request the Sacrament of Anointing by calling the parish office.

Marriage:
The preparation for this beautiful Sacrament must be initiated by the interested parishioners contacting the pastor at least six months prior to the intended date. This time allows the couple to participate in pre-marriage preparation programs and counseling. This pre-marriage preparation, called Pre-Cana, is a series of meetings with the pastor and a special one-day class with fellow engaged couples. This process provides a beautiful time of reflection and communication for the couple.

Holy Order:
The Sacrament of Holy Order is a vocation choice for leadership and service in the Catholic Community as an ordained minister. Our diocese has its own undergraduate and graduate school formation program. Please contact Father Tom if you are interested in this special Sacrament.
