Sacraments

Administration of the Sacraments

BAPTISM. Baptismal Preparation is by appointment.  First time parents will have a seminar with the Pastor.  Subsequent children need only to fill application form and coordinate the date with the Pastor (no additional seminar necessary).  Please make sure to include the Priest in your family celebrations after.

CONFIRMATION.  The process of preparation for Confirmation can begin in grade 6 or later.  Please contact the Pastor for details about the year long process it requires, which is either facilitated at St. Joseph School or by a parent led/home-based process. 

EUCHARIST.  Eucharist is celebrated daily.   Mass intentions may be offered by contacting the parish office.

RECONCILIATION. Celebrated by those who have  already received their first Reconciliation and Communion.    Confessions are available 15 minutes before every public Mass or by appointment. 

MARRIAGE.  Please make an appointment with the pastor, at least six months before the  HOPED FOR marriage date.   No date can be set until the initial meeting with the Pastor and the prenuptial questionnaire are completed.  The process of preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage in the Catholic Church is a multi-month process to help prepare the couple have a life long and happy marriage.  We look forward to journeying with you towards all of God’s plans to give you a family and future full of hope!

HOLY ORDERS.  Any person interested to become a priest, please see the pastor.
