Sacraments

Baptism

Congratulations on a new baby or maybe even as wonderful choice to come home with older children or a conversion of an adult.
Baptisms are conducted on the weekends usually but we can help you if there are circumstances which necessitate a change.  Please review our information about Baptisms and then phone the Rectory to arrange everything with Father. 

Confession - 

We try to have two times a week instead of just Saturdays - there's a session on Wednesdays from 7-8pm at St Christopher's and 3-345pm at Good Shepherd on Saturdays - however if before or after Mass you need a priest let us know and we'll try to help. Also you may ring a set up an appointment too. 

Communion/Confirmation -

Little (and not so little kids) will join Religious Ed to prepare for Holy Communion and Confirmation. Check out those links on our site. 

Holy Matrimony 

Again, bravo on a choice to be married in the church, it's the only real way to secure the blessing of God and not just the government for a Catholic bride and groom. Give Father a ring to set a proposed wedding date.  The time is needed for attending pre-marriage programs, gathering appropriate documents, and securing any dispensation from ecclesial authorities. Please review our Marriage Guidelines and then contact the Parish Office at least 6 months in advance to schedule.
