Infant & Youth Sacraments

Youth Baptism

The Baptism is the first Sacrament that a person of our Faith receives. When one is Baptized, they are welcomed into our Faith family!


Our two part baptismal prep process is not only meant to explain what it means to baptize your child in the Catholic Faith, but to go deeper with the parent's own understanding of their faith and the expectations of raising a child Catholic in our secular world today.

First Reconciliation

Preparing children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation allows us to show them that God is love and that in mercy He is always ready to forgive, no matter what the wrong. It assures them that God already knows the secrets of our hearts, but sometimes we need to name these aloud in order to prepare our hearts to renew the experience of God's love and forgiveness. It shows them that just as God is One, God dreams that we might all be one as well--one with each other and one with God. God's will is that all people will be reconciled with one another and with God.  What an extraordinary gift!

First Communion

Communion/Eucharist is the most important and most repeated Sacrament of the Catholic life. Each Sunday we gather in Mass as the Body of Christ to be nourished by the life-giving gift of Jesus' own body and blood. When we leave Mass, we take this loving gift with us into the world, spreading the love of God and Good news of Jesus to all those around us.

Confirmation

Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.
