Baptism
Call the parish office to make arrangements. Normally it is celebrated within the context of Sunday Mass, the 1st Sunday of each month. Generally parents and god-parents are required to participate in a sacramental preparation class prior to the date of the Baptism. Baptism for adults usually requires RCIA participation. For more information on this sacrament please contact Tara Doyon.

Confirmation
Confirmation is a two year preparation process.  First year Novices (typically 9th grade) and Second year Candidates (typically 10th grade) meet twice a month for classes.  Also the Candidates will meet monthly with a sponsor, whom they have chosen.  Both years will participate in ministry experience. There is a required retreat experience in both years.  Contact the Confirmation Office for more information.

For information on Adult Confirmation contact Jillian Vandermarks.

Marriages (Weddings)
Call the parish office to make arrangements, and to pick up a marriage preparation booklet. Generally couples are encouraged to participate in the marriage preparation program at St. Paul Catholic Center.  Click here for the Marriage Preperation Booklet (pdf format).

  • The Marriage Preparation Program: Marriage is a Sacrament, a unique vocation in the Church, and a public witness of Christian commitment and love. The St. Paul preparation program is a blend of the sacred and the practical aspects of marriage. The process includes:
    • Sponsor Couples/Marriage Preparation: pairs an engaged couple with an experienced married couple. Meet four or five times to discuss all aspects of married life.
    • MR and MRS: Marriage Readiness and Marriage Ripening Seminars range from finances to communication to Natural Family Planning to parenting. Skilled parish members share their expertise and facilitate discussion. Offered autumn and spring; dates and times posted in the bulletin, on the website, and available through our office.
    • Marriage as a Sacrament: a single presentation of the Catholic understanding of the nature of sacrament and how marriage is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Church.

Sacrament of Reconciliation
Confessions are heard in the Chapel on Saturday- -from 3:00pm-4:00pm. Call the parish office to schedule a time with a priest if desired.

Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick
