The Seven Sacraments

Baptism washes away original sin from our souls and makes it rich in the grace of God.  If you, or you wish to get you child baptized, please contact the parish office.  

Confirmation, through the coming of the Holy Spirit, makes us soldiers of Christ.  There are many requirements and preparations to receive this sacrament.  Please call the parish office for more information.

The Holy Eucharist, or Communion, is the most important of the seven sacraments because we receive the very body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. 

The sacrament can be received by all Baptized Catholics is the state of grace.  For more information or how to prepare your child for their First Communion, call the parish office.  

Confession, or Penance, is the sacrament in which the faithful are absolved from sins committed after Baptism, and they are reconciled with the Christian community.  Sacred Heart offers confession on Saturdays at 3:30 p.m.  St. Joseph offers confession on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m.  If you would like to make an appointment with Father, please call the parish office. 

Marriage is the covenant by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership for their whole lives, and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring.  Marriage preparations must be at least six months in advance.  Call the parish office for more details.

The sacrament of Holy Orders includes three orders: bishop, priest and deacon.  

Extreme Unction can be received by any baptized person who has reached the age of reason and is on account of sickness or age in danger of death. Its effect is the strengthening of the soul, often of the body as well, and in the necessary conditions remission of sins.  Please call the parish office.
