Baptism: The Sacrament of Baptism is
available every Sunday. Most Sundays, we celebrate the sacrament at
12:15 p.m. Baptism at Mass is available on the fourth Sunday of the
month. Parents are required to attend a baptism preparation class before
celebrating the sacrament. Classes are held three times a year. Call the
rectory in advance to make arrangements for all Baptisms. |

Confirmation: Students entering high school are
invited to apply for participation in the Confirmation program.
Preparation begins in the fall, and continues for approximately 16
months. This is a process of adult faith formation with monthly
meetings, service opportunities during the spring and summer months,
activities with the sacramental sponsor, and a retreat.
