Parents are required to participate in two prebaptisimal sessions to ready themselves spiritually. Adults who wish to be Baptized are prepared through the Rite of Christian Initiation - Adults. They are required, prior to Confirmation, to faithfully participate in the parish catechetical program which includes prayer, Christian doctrine and a service project component. Adults who have not been confirmed must make arrangements for Confirmation preparation either through RCIA or through classes offered prior to Adult Confirmation on Pentecost in Burlington. Because of the seriousness of this sacrament, couples are required by diocesan policy to contact the parish at least six months in advance of the wedding.
Couples meet with a priest and enroll in a marriage preparation program.
The preparation includes sessions with a priest, a focus test and a day long Pre-Cana session which is offered at Christ the King parish in February and August. A special marriage information booklet is available at the rectory. The Sacrament of the Sick is celebrated whenever ther is a need and arrangements are made with one of the priests. There is no special preparation that is made for the celebration of the sacrament, except the spiritual preparation of the one who will be annointed.
