Sacraments

Baptism is the first Sacrament of initiation into the Catholic Church. It removes the guilt and effects of Original Sin and incorporates the baptized into the Catholic Church.

First Communion, the last sacrament of initiation.

​

In the Eucharist, we receive Jesus. His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity within the consecrated bread and wine. This Sacrament, the one we receive most often throughout our lives, is the source of great graces that sanctify us and help us grow in the likeness of Jesus Christ. 

At St. Mary Parish, First Communion preparation is most often done through the Catechism classes and is offered every other year unless discussed with the Catechism team and parish priest.

The Sacrament of Marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman for procreation and mutual support.  It is a natural institution but it is also one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic  Church. 

​

As a Sacrament, it reflects the union of Jesus Christ and His Church.

First Reconciliation, also known as Confession or the Sacrament of Penance. 

​

Reconciling us to God, confession is a great source of grace, and Catholics are encouraged to take advantage of it often, even if they are not aware of having committed a mortal sin.

At St. Mary Parish, First Reconciliation and First Communion preparation classes are offered through Catechism or arranged through the parish office with the priest. 

For more information, contact the Catechism team.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation because it was historically administered immediately after the Sacrament of Baptism.

Confirmation perfects our baptism and brings us the graces of the Holy Spirit that were granted to the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday. 

Confirmation classes are offered every other year through Catechism classes for grade 6 and 7 students or otherwise arranged through the parish office along with the parish priest.
