New Parishioners: Invited to register in the parish as soon as possible after moving into the parish.  Please call the rectory at the number above to make an appointment.
Rectory Business Hours: Monday - Friday:  9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Marriage: Archdiocesan policy expects six months or more between the first interview with the parish priest and the actual date of the wedding.  Couples usually reserve their date and the church about a year in advance.
Sick Calls: Parishioners who are housebound, permanently or temporarily, are visited by the parish priest and Eucharistic Ministers on a regular basis.  Anyone in the parish who would want or need this ministry is invited to make arrangements by calling the rectory.  Emergency sick calls are attended to immediately.

A recently enacted law has affected the longstanding practice of hospitals and nursing facilities to provide information to churches about parishioners who are patients/residents. Because of this new law, the priests and the staff in the Parish office may not promptly learn, or may not learn at all, that a member of the Parish has been admitted to a hospital. If you, or a member of your family, are hospitalized, and you want the Parish office to know, please personally contact the office and identify the patient, the hospital and the room number. Because all area hospitals may not have the same policies allowing the priest of the parish to know when members are patients, direct notice to the Parish from you or your family is a better approach. If you will be undergoing elective surgery, please call the rectory in advance to receive the Sacrament of the Sick (Anointing). Emergency calls will be handled at all times.

Baptism: The Sacrament of Baptism is held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at 12:00 noon. Arrangements must be made at least 2 weeks in advance at the Rectory.  One godparent must be Catholic.  If you want another godparent, that godparent can be baptized Christian from another denomination.

If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a Catholic, please join us for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) on Thursday nights at 7:30 PM in the school. Our weekly meetings are open to all parishioners as well and to anyone who would like to learn more about the faith.
