Parish Involvement

 We come together to share our God-given gifts for the enhancement of our Parish life. Everyone is welcome to make their contribution to the many opportunities offered by our Parish.

Believed to have been ordained by Christ and that is held to be a means of divine grace or to be a sign or symbol of a spiritual reality.

Baptism

The first sacrament where we become united with Christ and the Church – no other sacrament can be received without it. A priest performs this rite by pouring water over the baptismal candidate, therefore cleansing their original sin through water and the word. Baptism is the first Rite of Initiation.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the Sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.  Confirmation is the second Rite of Initiation.

Holy Communion

CAt the heart of the Eucharist celebration (the Mass) are the bread and wine that, by the words of Christ and the invocation of the Holy Spirit, become Christ's Body and Blood; Holy Communion. Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ. Holy Communion is the third Rite of Initiation into the life of Christ and His Holy Church

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is founded on Jesus' call for repentance, his forgiveness of sinners, and his command that his followers forgive one another. 

Anointing of the Sick

This sacrament provides a special grace from God. Enabling the sick or aged person to experience the healing and strength of Jesus Christ.

Holy Orders

Holy orders is the Sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time.

Holy Orders

Marriage

A church is the appropriate venue for the wedding of those who believe in Christ and who which to celebrate publicly God's blessing of their union with the Sacrament of Marriage.
