First Communion is typically celebrated as a group once a year. Preparation classes will be held for six weeks leading up to the reception of Holy Communion. It is highly recommended that children go to confession before receiving their First Communion.
To be eligible, children must demonstrate their readiness for the sacrament, and a current baptismal certificate must be submitted before the end of the classes.
Confirmation are held once a year, dates will be announced approximately two months prior to confirmation. Classes will be conducted 6 weeks before reception. All candidates to be confirmed will need to prove that they are prepared for the sacrament and a current baptismal certificate has to be submitted before the final class ended.
Contact one of the priests a minimum of 6 months prior to proposed date, marriage preparation program required.
When a loved one passes away, please first contact the funeral home that will be handling the arrangements. Next, reach out to one of our priests to check the availability of both the church and the priest. We will work closely with the family and the funeral home to ensure a smooth process. While we have experience working with many funeral homes, we do not have any specific preferences or recommendations.
