Reconciliation
"The seven Catholic Sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence. "
The Sacraments
Celebrating the sacraments is at the heart of the life of our parish community. Sacraments are the people of God joining together as a community of faith not just as individuals.
In the celebration of the sacraments we hope to promote a deeper engagement in the meaning, and a new appreciation of the beauty of the sacramental life of our church.
We plan to do this by actively involving people in planning and celebration of all our sacraments, including our Station Masses, First Communions, weddings, funerals, and baptisms.
