Reconciliation
As humans, we oftentimes fail to live as God calls us to live.
Reconciliation allows us the opportunity to confess our shortcomings to God, the Father, while He excitedly waits to offer us His love and mercy.
No sin is bigger than the mercy of God.
WEEKLY CONFESSION
Saturday at 11:00am-12pm in the Chapel.
First Reconciliation:

Eucharist
Without food or drink, we would not be able to live. Thus, the Eucharist offers us the Body and Blood of Jesus to nourish our soul. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith that empowers us to become Whom we receive.

Confirmation
Confirmation completes our Baptism and gives us the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that we can live and serve as active members in the Catholic Church. The gifts that we receive at Confirmation will empower us to be the Saints that God is calling us to be.

The Sick

in the name of the Lord.”

Holy Orders
Christ did not leave His Church without capable leaders. He gave us a Pope, Bishops, Priests, and Deacons in order to serve the Church and Her people. as an ongoing sacrament, Holy Orders is God’s gift of assistance and strength for the preaching of the Word, the administration of the sacraments, and the ministry of service leading to the holiness of all.
