Our Faith

Baptism

“No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and spirit” (Jn 3:5)

Baptisms are usually held on the Second Sunday of every month. Baptismal classes must be completed. Please contact the rectory for further information. 

First Penance

Penance is experiencing God’s mercy first hand and through his forgiveness we are able to get closer to him and stay close to his truth and endless mercy. First Penance is celebrated before Lent. 

First Communion

“I am the Bread that came down from heaven…unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you” (Jn 6:51,53).

To Catholics, this is the sacrament that is vital in entering the kingdom of God and achieving eternal life. First Communion takes place on the first Saturday in May.

Confirmation

“Sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Confirmation reminds us of the first Pentecost where the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary and the Apostles. Those who believe will be anointed with sacred Chrism and sealed with the Holy Spirit.
