| Baptism |
Baptism is the first sacrament of Christian initiation into
the church. Through Baptism we become children of God and share
in the Paschal Mystery of the life, death and resurrection of
Christ. Must meet with pastor at least two months in advance
for infant baptism. For children (six years and above) and adults,
please contact Loretta Fennell at 408-739-1669. |
| Confirmation |
Confirmation is the second sacrament of
initiation through which the baptized are more fully bound to
the Church and receive special strength of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism brings the faithful into the Church and Confirmation
sends them out into the world to be witnesses of Christ by word
and deed. For further information, please contact Loretta
Fennell at 408-739-1669. |
| Eucharist (Communion) |
The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation.
Communion is the sacrament of the presence of Jesus, Son of
God, as food for us and a sign of our union with the entire
Church. For further information, please contact Loretta Fennell
at 408-739-1669. |
Penance
(Reconciliation) |
This sacrament reconciles us to God and
the Church. Sin damages our relationship to the community.
The sacrament of Penance repairs or restores it. For further
information, please contact Loretta Fennell at 408-739-1669. |

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. If interested, contact the pastor.
