On Becoming a Catholic
If you or someone you know is thinking of becoming a Catholic, you are invited to come and experience the RCIA process (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults).  RCIA is a journey experience for those adults who are non-baptized, baptized in another Christian tradition, or a baptized Catholic who has not received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.  Please contact S. Jocelyn Panzetta (x206) for more information.


New Parishioners
Welcome to our family.  Families/Individuals who have moved in to the area and are interested in registering may download and fill out the Parish Census Form from the Parish Website and mail it to the Parish office.  You may also drop by the Parish Office and fill out the form.  After which, expect a call from one of the pastoral staff members and an email (if you have provided an email address) to personally welcome you into the parish.  You will also receive by mail a packet containing basic information about the parish and possibilities of involvement.


Baptism/Christening
Please call the Parish Office for an appointment to schedule a baptism.  We encourage parents to start planning for the baptism during the 4th month of pregnancy.  Note that baptisms are not held during the season of Lent.  To make an appointment and for further information please call the Parish Office and ask to be connected to extension 217.

Getting Married
Arrangements should be made at least 6 months before the wedding.  Dates are not given out and reserved over phone but are chosen after the couple makes a personal appearance and a canonical interview is made.  All couples are required to attend Pre-Cana. Call the Parish Office to make an appointment with a priest or deacon for the initial intake.  


Funeral Mass/Memorial Mass
For Funeral Masses and Memorial Masses, normally, the Funeral Home Director arranges with the Parish office, who then would notify our Ministry of Consolation Coordinators.  A member of the ministry will contact a family representative of the deceased to decide matters about the Mass such as readings, songs, information about the deceased, etc.  When arranging for a Memorial Mass without going through a Funeral Home, you may call the Parish Office directly.

Mass Cards and offering Masses for deceased loved ones
We encourage everyone to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for deceased relatives and friends by making a small donation.  Mass cards are available at the front desk of the Pastoral Center.  Depending on the availability of the date, you may choose to have your intention announced at Mass or have it said unannounced at Mass at an unspecified date.


Certificates (Baptismal, Confirmation, etc.)
Please contact the Parish Office and inform the receptionist of your request.  The receptionist will record the basic information of the person concerned.  Allow at least 1 day to process the request.  When finished, you will be called to pick up the certificate or you may also request to have the certificate mailed to you.
