The Sacraments Marriage The Sacrament of Matrimony, generally known as marriage, is the sacred union between one man and one woman. Through this sacrament, a man and a woman enter into a sacred covenant with one another in the presence of God. The Sacrament of Matrimony is the foundation of the family, the “domestic Church,” which is why the Catholic community so deeply cherishes marriage and family life. It is through this vocation, or calling, that God desires each spouse not only to grow in love for one another but also to work with him as co-creators to bring new life into the world. Marriage is a lifelong journey that often needs guidance in its different seasons. As a parish community, we want to offer support to those living out the vocation of marriage through courses, counselling, and mentorship. If you are planning to get married in the Catholic Church, we would be very happy to set up an appointment with one of our priests to help get you started. Marriage preparation usually begins at least twelve months prior to the anticipated wedding date. Please contact the Parish Office and we will assist you.

Regular confession brings healing to our hearts and restores our relationship with God and the community. Catholics are always welcome to return to this sacrament, whether it has been two weeks or two decades since their last confession. Confession times are listed under each church's profile under Locations , and we invite you to participate as often as possible. If you would like to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, please come to the church at the times listed on our website or contact the Parish Office to schedule an appointment.

What are the Sacraments? As Catholics, we believe that the sacraments are, as St. Augustine put it, outward and visible signs of inward and invisible grace. Outwardly, the sacraments involve words and physical matter and actions, while inwardly they are the direct means by which we experience God’s grace in our lives. The sacraments are far more than mere rituals, or symbols of events that happened long ago; rather, they are a vital source of the help that God freely offers to aid us in our journey of faith. Each of the seven sacraments was instituted by Jesus Christ, and they are the primary way for us to engage in our faith and grow in our relationship with God. The Father gave his Son out of absolute and perfect love for us, and in the sacraments we encounter the Son’s self-giving love. As we participate in the Church’s liturgies and receive the sacraments, the Holy Spirit works in us to make us more like Jesus. The sacraments are at the heart of our Catholic faith, and we want to encourage you to receive the sacraments as often as you are able. If you have any questions or would like to receive any of the sacraments, please contact the parish office and we would be happy to assist you. ​ Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism Confirmation Eucharist Sacraments of Healing: Reconciliation Anointing of the Sick Sacraments of Communion and Mission: Marriage Holy Orders The Sacrament of Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, making us sons and daughters of God and members of the Body of Christ and freeing us from sin. Through Baptism, we are welcomed into the Catholic Church, the community of faith. When we are baptized, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us. Baptism enables us to receive the other sacraments and to grow in the life of the Risen Christ. Many Catholics receive this sacrament as infants. Before infants are baptized, the parents (and often the godparents as well) receive preparation for their child’s sacramental faith journey. Adults and teenagers who have not been baptized and who wish to become Catholic usually participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. After this period of formation, they receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which include Baptism. If you are interested in registering yourself or your child to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the Parish Office and our team will be in touch. Let us know if you have any further questions and we would be happy to assist you.
