Sacrament of Baptism:

Classes are held monthly for parents planning the baptism.  Baptisms may be arranged during a weekend liturgy. Please schedule by calling the office.


Sacrament of the Sick:

If you or someone in your family is going to the hospital for surgery, you may request the “Sacrament of Anointing” after mass the weekend before admission.  Due to federal privacy laws, if you do not identify yourself as a Catholic at the time of admission, the parish will not be notified.

Preparation and reception of these Sacraments are coordinated through the offices of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry.  If you or your child would like to prepare for one of these Sacraments, please contact the office for more information.
