Encounters with Jesus Christ throughout our lives
For Catholics, the seven sacraments are not simply rituals or traditions. They are encounters with Jesus Christ, given to the Church as sources of grace throughout our lives. Through the sacraments, the Lord strengthens us, heals us, nourishes us, and calls us to holiness. They are traditionally grouped as the sacraments of initiation, healing, and service.
Baptism is the beginning of the Christian life and the foundation of our life in Christ. Through water and the Holy Spirit, we are freed from sin, reborn as children of God, and welcomed into the Body of Christ, the Church. It is the first great gift of grace and the doorway to the other sacraments.
For information on godparent guidelines, preparation requirements, and what is needed to arrange a Baptism, please contact the parish office.

In Holy Communion, the bread and wine are consecrated into the Body and Blood of Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit they are transformed into the true and real presence of Christ. The Eucharist unites us more deeply to the Lord and to one another in his Church, strengthening us to live as his disciples.
First Communion preparation is linked to our Faith Formation program. For registration and more information, please contact the parish office or our Faith Formation Coordinator.
