A parish marriage program and participation in a diocesan pre-marriage workshop are required. Ceremonies can be scheduled anytime on Friday and Saturday no later than 2pm. Contact our parish office for information about Holy Orders. Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time is an on-going process which continues throughout the time the child is in the parish school or the religious education program. Each year an attempt is made to help the child grow in a deeper understanding and appreciation of this sacrament in accord with the child's awareness and growth.
Parents are very much a part of the preparation and parent meetings are held.
Parents are urged to make the celebration of First Reconciliation a family affair. The formal reception of this sacrament takes place, usually in March, when the child is in fifth grade. Contact the R.E. Office for further information. Contact the parish office if you would like someone anointed. In hospitals, a chaplain may be asked to administer the sacrament.
