Sacramental Life

The Holy Sacraments are a vital part of Church Life.  They join us with the Church, and bring us closer to God's grace.  St. Patrick's encourgages everyone to take full advantage of a sacramental life.

For adults and young adults who are new to the Roman Catholic Church, please look into the RCIA - Rite for Christian Initiation for Adults - program.

Sacramental Life

  • Baptism Program
    • The Baptism Program is a preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism, ever mindful of the future faith development of our newest members.  When parents call the rectory to arrange for the Baptism, they are sent a brochure expaining the procedure, and are invited to attend a meeting prior to the Baptism date.  The meeting is conducted by volunteers from the parish, including an instructor and a lay couple with young children.  Parents are asked to re-examine the meaning of faith in their lives, to reflect on the commitment they will be making for their child, and familiarize themselves with the Rite of Baptism.  At the Baptism itself, volunteer greeters welcome and assist the families.
      Please check the Mass & Services Schedule for times.
       
  • Eucharist (First Communion)
    • Participating in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is the highpoint of our Christian worship.  The Holy Eucharist is offered at each Mass and is brought to those unable to attend Mass by a group of dedicated Extraordinary Ministers.  St. Patrick's takes seriously it's commitment to prepare children of the parish in first and second grade for their 'First Communion'.  Please check the Mass & Services Schedule for Masses offered through the week.
       
  • Confirmation
    • Confirmation is the final Sacrament of Initiation after Baptism and First Communion.  It is typically received by young people in the eight grade.  At confirmation we take the a full step into the life in the Church and we are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
       
  • Marriage
    • Marriage is a sacrament of vocation. A man and a woman are joined by oath and God's grace into a lasting union,  Please call the Rectory to schedule and discuss wedding services.  Please check The Mass and Services Schedule for more details.
       
  • Pre-Canna
    • A marriage preparation for engaged couples, St. Patrick's Pre-Cana is offered three times a year (fall, winter, spring) and runs for six weeks.  Volunteer married couples from the parish work with engaged couples to help give them the tools they need to build a better relationship with each other and God.
       
  • Marriage Alive
    • A step beyond the Pre-Cana program, Marriage Alive is designed for married couples seeking to make good marriages grow in positive directions.  It is a support group for married couples -- a place where they can be with other Christian couples who share similar values.  Meetings include prayer, discussion, coffee and refreshments.  Discussions feature topics relative to marriage and family life.  Marriage Alive is open to couples of all ages.
       
  • Reconciliation (Confession)
    • The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an offering up of our transgressions to God through the office of the Priesthood.  We ask for and receive Christ's saving grace, and are then able to go forward in life with a renewed commitment to a life in Christ. Please see the Mass Times schedule for when Reconciliation is offered.
