Reconciliation restores our relationship with our heavenly Father and our human
neighbors. Reconciliation is offered each Saturday at 4:00 p.m. or by appointment.
Children generally celebrate their first reconciliation during the fall of their second grade
year.
Anointing of the Sick calls on the Spirit for the grace to endure sickness and suffering.
Anointing can be celebrated at any time. Contact the pastor for anointing prior to going to
the hospital for surgery or before your illness becomes critical. Occasionally, anointing
services will be offered at area churches.
Matrimony is the sacrament uniting a man and women to live in God's grace as husband
and wife. Weddings should be scheduled a year in advance to allow time for marriage
preparation classes. Contact the pastor to schedule a wedding.

for the permanent diaconate or priesthood should contact the archdiocesan office.
