Sacraments

Reconciliation

Saturday 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM, or by appointment.

Those who approach the sacrament of penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer, labors for their conversion. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1422)

Baptism

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and are made sharers in her mission (CCC 1213). Interested families, please call the Parish Office at 860-529-2545 to schedule a date and attend a Baptism preparation session.

All Baptisms are held during a Sunday Mass, including the vigil. Families must be registered with the parish for three months before a Baptism can be held.

Marriage

The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament. (CCC 1601)

Interested couples, please call the Parish Office at least six months in advance of desired date.

Anointing of the Sick

By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. (CCC 1499)

To arrange for this sacrament, please call the Parish Office.
