Sacraments
Baptism
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of
commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults,
Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Eucharist
Catholics believe the celebration of the Eucharist at Mass is the unbloody
reenactment of Jesus’ crucifixion. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who
died for our sins. As we receive Christ’s Body and Blood, we also are nourished
spiritually and brought closer to God.
Reconciliation
The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance or Confession) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration.
Reconciliation times are scheduled for:
Wednesday 5:00-6:00pm
Saturday 3:30-4:30pm
First Saturdays following the 8:00am Mass
Anytime by appointment.
Confirmation
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a
deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for
Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Marriage

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that
one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about
God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God’s
values.
Holy Orders
In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows
to lead other Catholics by providing them the sacraments (especially the
Eucharist and Confession), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other
means to holiness.
Anointing Of The Sick
The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or
Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing‐appropriate not only for physical but also
for mental and spiritual sickness.
