Sacraments


Sacraments are a vital part of our Catholic faith. They are external signs that make real to us the invisible reality of God's grace. Baptism is the first sacrament and is the gateway to all the other sacraments.

Anointing of the Sick:
Offered after all Masses on the 3rd weekend of the month for those with an upcoming surgery or for anyone recently diagnosed with a serious illness. After Mass, please move to the front rows near the baptismal font to receive the sacrament. For additional assistance, and for hospitalized patients, please call the Parish Office (495-1886 x410).

Holy Orders:

"Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1536)
