| 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 Porty Nevarez - Director of Religious Education (408) 739-1669, religious.education@saintcyprian.org. |
| 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 Porty Nevarez - Director of Religious Education (408) 739-1669, religious.education@saintcyprian.org. |
| 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.
