Sacrament of Initiation: First Holy Communion

1324: "The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life.’ The other sacraments, [and indeed all other aspects of the Church’s life], are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself" (Catechism of the Catholic Church).

After a period of catechesis, children around the age of 7 years can make their First Holy Communion. Adults (not in an irregular marital state), can receive the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. For more information contact the parish office and click the button below.

sacrament OF MATRIMONY

1661: "The Sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life" (Catechism of the Catholic Church).

The sacrament of matrimony is a covenant, which makes it more than a contract. A covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, that is, a capable man and woman joined in holy matrimony for love of each and God. The celebration of marriage is a public-liturgical act celebrated in church, often within the Eucharistic celebration.

If you are without impediments (e.g. previous bond), hence, free to marry in the Catholic Church, please see the parish priest. If you are interested in marrying in the Church but in irregular marital situations, please do not hesitate to discuss with the parish priest.

The Archdiocese states that at least six months' notice of marriage is required to ensure completion of paperwork and marriage prep courses.
