Sacraments

We are a “sacramental people.” The sacraments are a rich part of our church’s
worship. Persons, places and things help us to touch the divine presence and to be touched. In the sacraments the words and actions of Jesus continue to be expressed.
They are signs of God’s immeasurable love for us. They are gift!

 Baptism

CONTACT: Sr. Shirley Gerth to set a time for preparation.
The church requires that one parent and one godparent be an active and
participating Catholic.

First Reconciliation and First Eucharist

Both of these sacraments usually take place in the second grade. The catechesis for
First Reconciliation and First Eucharist takes place as part of class time. Families
are an important part of their children’s preparation for the sacraments.
If seeking these sacraments after the second grade CONTACT: Marsha Olivera at
