Baptism

CIC (Christian Initiation of Children)

For children over 7 years old and older who are interested in becoming Catholic or who are Baptized in another faith and would like to continue their journey as a Catholic.  Please contact the parish directly.

RCIA (Christian Initiation of Adults)

Parishes welcome new adult members, into the Catholic Church through a process of education, faith sharing, and rituals known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).  This process includes several stages marked by prayer, study, and discussion.  Included in the process are several Rites, which take place within the context of the Mass.  
RCIA: MORE INFORMATION

First Reconciliation & First Eucharist

Grade 2 is the age for receiving these sacraments.
If your child is older than Grade 2 there is still time to catch up.  *Check with the school or church bulletin for dates and times.
1st Rec. & Eucharist: more information

Confirmation

Grade 6 is the expected age for receiving Confirmation but all older students who have not been confirmed are also welcome.  Check with the school or church bulletin for dates and times.
Confirmation: for more information

Matrimony

Couples are asked to meet with the Pastor six months prior to their wedding date so that all documentation and paperwork can be completed. 
They will need to provide their Baptismal Certificates and their parents' place of birth.  Completing a Marriage Preparation Course is also required.  Sometimes a Catholic may have married civilly - by a JP or Magistrate - or in a non-Catholic Church where a Dispensation is required. We are always open to help those who have for one reason or another omitted the Catholic Form of Marriage.  If you would like to have your marriage convalidated or have questions, please contact the main office.

Anointing of the Sick 

Call the Parish office to arrange for a priest to make a visit.

Reconcilliation

Generally, reconciliation is offered half hour before each Mass.
