St Patrick's of Smithtown
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.
