Sacramentos
When Jesus walked the face of the Early nearly 2,000 years ago, he possessed the power to save, heal, nourish, and strengthen people. These powers continue today in the Church by means of the 7 Sacraments, continuing Jesus' saving work and ministry right here and now!
Each sacrament is an outward sign that actually conveys the grace (the gift of God) that it signifies... by means of outward symbols, God graciously and freely gives his divine life to anyone who wishes to embrace a relationship with Him.

Al darles la bienvenida a estos padres de una manera especial, siempre estamos buscando personas para ser voluntarios en este ministerio, por lo que estos programas de preparación son experiencias de aprendizaje y de oración antes de que una pareja bautice a su hijo.
REUNIONES DE PADRES:
Las parejas voluntarias facilitan y dirigen debates para los padres que están bautizando a su primer hijo. El programa consiste en una reunión con otras parejas para aclarar la comprensión del sacramento. Existe la oportunidad de reunirse y hablar con el párroco y el diácono, e interactuar con otros padres.

Preparing to Receive the Holy Spirit
Confirmation completes and strengthens the grace received at Baptism. Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and strengthened to live as faithful witnesses of Christ.
Interested in Confirmation?
If you or your child is interested in preparing for the Sacraments of Confirmation, the first step is to attend Mass.
Information about upcoming Confirmation opportunities, meetings, and preparation will be shared through our weekly bulletin and on the website. A weekly flyer will provide the most current information and next steps.
We encourage all those interested in Confirmation and their families to participate regularly in Sunday mass.
Please check the weekly bulletin and see our Religious Education page for the latest Confirmation information.

Becoming Catholic
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a journey of faith for adults who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church and discerning whether God may be calling them to become Catholic.
OCIA is also an opportunity for baptized Catholics who have not yet received all of the Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist to receive the sacraments they are missing.
Throughout the process, participants learn about the Catholic faith, Sacred Scripture, the Sacraments, the Trinity, Christian morality, the Church, and Catholic social teaching. Most importantly, OCIA is a time of faith sharing, prayer, reflection, and growing in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The OCIA journey typically begins in the fall and continues throughout the year, leading up to the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil.
Interested in Learning More?
Whether you are simply curious about the Catholic faith, considering becoming Catholic, or seeking to complete your Sacraments of Initiation, you are welcome to learn more and begin your journey of faith with us.
For more information about OCIA and becoming Catholic, please visit our Becoming Catholic - OCIA page. You can also call the Parish Office at 508-222-1206 or email Lori Castro at [email protected].
