SACRAMENTS
There are seven Sacraments of the Church which touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation
Sacraments of Healing: Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick
Sacraments of Service: Holy Orders and Matrimony
Baptism
Baptisms take place on the second and fourth Sunday of the month after the 11:30 Mass. Godparents need to submit a current letter of eligibility from their parish, stating that they are practicing Catholics in good standing.
New parents and their child(ren) are invited to a Baptism Supper held at the rectory on the second Thursday of the month.
Holy Communion
Children enrolled in our PREP program receive First Holy Communion in second grade.
A priest or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion can bring the Eucharist to those who are homebound. Call the office at 215-887-1501 to arrange a communion call.
Interested in becoming a Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion?
Confirmation
Children enrolled in our PREP program receive this sacrament in the seventh grade. The Confirmation Sponsor must provide a letter of eligibility from their parish stating that he/she is practicing Catholics.
Adults who have not received Confirmation and wish to enter into full communion with the church can contact the office to arrange instruction in the faith.
Anointing of the Sick
Anointing of the Sick can be administered in different situations. For example, if there is an upcoming surgery. Do not wait until death is imminent. Call the church office to arrange an anointing, and notify the parish if a loved one is in the hospital.
An anointing of the Sick Mass is held yearly.
