Receiving the Sacraments

Each of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ is an outward sign of an inward grace. Through the sacraments we are given the graces necessary to truly live for and with God. Find the sacrament you need to receive. 

Registration for sacrament classes for youths 2nd Grade-12th Grade (1st Confession and Confirmation) has closed until next fall. Confession is available twice weekly as posted below or by appointment. Other sacraments may be received by arrangement with Father Todd through calling our office M-F 9-5. You may email him at [email protected]

Baptism

Baptism is the passage into God's own family. Whatever the age of the soul here on earth, the church always welcomes you.

Use the "Call" button to call Donna at the church office for more information.

Confirmation

As children of God, Confirmation allows us to receive the Holy Spirit so we can go forth as Jesus commanded us, to teach others and call them to the church.

Registration for Confirmation opens each August and September to those youth in at least the 6th grade. All interested youth must pass an oral test of basic faith questions before being accepted into the class (study guide available through the office all year long).  The test is in English or Spanish and may be taken multiple times before the end of registration the last day of September.

For the sacrament of 1st Reconciliation, read the paragraph at the bottom of the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

Anointing of the Sick

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the (presbyters) of the Church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." 
              -St. James 5:14

For those wishing to receive this sacrament, they should call Fr. Todd to arrange the details.                  

Holy Orders

"Thus the risen Christ, by giving the Holy Spirit to the apostles, entrusted to them his power of sanctifying: they became sacramental signs of Christ. By the power of same Holy Spirit they entrusted this power to their successors. This "apostolic succession" structures the whole liturgical life of the Church and is itself sacramental, handed on by the sacrament of Holy Orders."
                   -CCC 1087
