SACRAMENTS

Baptisms are held every Sunday after the 12:30 pm (12:00 noon) Mass. Parents are expected to attend an information and instruction session before the Baptism of the child. The instruction is held the first Sunday of the month after the 10:15am Mass. Please call the Church Office to make arrangements for a Baptism or to request more information. Godparents must be practicing Catholics, age 16 or older, have already received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, and, if married, married in accord with Catholic Church Law.

Penance is administered on Saturdays from 3:30 pm to 4:30pm and from 6:00pm to 6:45pm. Also one can make an appointment with one of the priests.

Matrimony: Diocesan Common Policy requires nine to twelve months advance notification of the priest or deacon and attendance at marriage preparation.

Visitation of the Sick: Please notify the Church Office when a member of the Parish is in the hospital or if someone is unable to attend Mass and wishes to receive Communion.

 

Holy Days Of Obligation

After their general annual meeting in 1991, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) of the United States issued the following decree on Dec. 13.

In addition to Sunday, the days to be observed as holy days of obligation in the Latin-rite dioceses of the United States, in conformity with Canon 1246, are as follows:

  • Jan. 1, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
  • Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the Solemnity of the Ascension.
  • Aug. 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
  • Nov. 1, the Solemnity of All Saints.
  • Dec. 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
  • Dec. 25, the Solemnity of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Whenever Jan. 1, Aug. 15 or Nov. 1 falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.

This decree of the NCCB was approved and confirmed by the Holy See and became effective Jan. 1, 1993.
