Holy First Communion

Our Family Formation Program provides the two-year required preparation for First Reconciliation/First Penance and First Holy Communion. See Faith Formation for more details.

Confirmation

Candidates in the process for Confirmation, will get the opportunity to reflect on how to live out the commitment they make to Christ in Confirmation while reviewing key concepts of the faith through prayer, scripture, and service.

The preparation process will include Eucharistc Adoration, the celebration of the sacrament of Reconciliation and retreats at the beginning and end of the year.

Students in a Catholic school receive their formation in school. However, candidates and parents will also participate in Eucharistc Adoration, the celebration of the sacrament of Reconciliation and retreats at the beginning and end of the year as well as participate in talks and meetings with their parish leading up to the sacrament.

Anointing of the Sick

Jesus came to heal the whole person, body and soul. The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. Participation in the rites is also encouraged for those who are struggling with serious or chronic illness, those who face surgery due to serious illness, those who suffer serious emotional/mental illness and the elderly who are weakened, even though no notable illness is present. Please call

the parish office to make arrangements.

Matrimony

Ideally, arrangements should be made for weddings at least 6 months prior to the wedding date. Contact the parish office at 203 869-5421 to make arrangements.

Holy Orders

Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus, it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate.

Today, the word ordination is reserved for the sacramental act which integrates a man into the order of bishops, presbyters, or deacons, and goes beyond a simple election, designation, delegation, or institution by the community, for it confers a gift of the Holy Spirit that permits the exercise of a “sacred power” which can come only from Christ himself through the Church.

RCIA

RCIA is a welcoming program for gradually entering into the Catholic Church and completing the Sacraments. We invite you to look deeper into the Catholic faith. It is a journey to learn how to live the Gospel values and the truths of our faith. We hold sessions to share what Catholics believe and the fellowship of our parish family through study, prayer, and rites at Masses. To read more, click here.
