St. Mary's offers a vast array of opportunities for both children and adults to grow in our faith. Sacramental Preparation

Baptism of Children
The birth of a child is cause for great joy to a family. So too, the celebration of a child's baptism is cause for the church to rejoice.  For information regarding the baptism of your child:Baptism Preparation

First Eucharist, First Penance and Confirmation for children
As our children mature they grow in their relationship with God especially through the reception of the sacraments.  For information on preparing your children to receive the sacraments:  Sacramental Education

Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation for adults
Many people feel drawn to our Catholic way of life.  Adults who have never been baptized and who wish to inquire into and/or become Catholic enter in to one of the most beautiful moments of the Church. Formally called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) the Church carefully unfolds the mysteries of our Faith and respectfully draws the candidate slowly into our way of life. For those already baptized in another Christian tradition who seek to join us in our way of life, a similar experience is offered which respects the one baptism of Jesus and the truth offered in other Christian traditions.  For further information: RCIA

Matrimony
To those who seek to be married in our Catholic tradition we offer our congratulations.  For detailed information:

Anointing of the Sick
The healing Christ touches His people during serious sickness through Anointing of the Sick. Through this sacrament, God helps his people to endure suffering during times of illness and provides for their reconciliation. Ministry to the sick involves visits to hospitals or homebound parishioners. Contact the office or one of the priests to arrange for home visit; Special ministers are also available to bring communion on a regular basis.
