Sacraments

The sacraments signify and make present the grace of God in our lives.

It’s no surprise, then, that they touch all the stages and important moments of our lives. An active sacramental life is vital to development in the Christian faith and as your local parish we are here to help you on this journey.

  • Baptisms

    It is through Baptism that we die with Christ and are reborn as children of God. If you’re an adult hoping to be Baptized we are excited that you’ve heard God’s call and we look forward to working with you through our RCIA program. If you are a parent hoping to Baptize a child, congratulations! Your child is truly a gift from God and your decision to christen them in the faith is a major step in their life.

    If you’re interested in baptizing your child, learn about the requirements, fill out the registration form and bring it to the Parish Office.

  • Reconciliation

    We offer the Sacrament of Penance thirty minutes prior to mass and any time by appointment. This Sacrament is a great blessing for our Church as it provides spiritual healing and an opportunity to confess the ways that we’ve distanced ourselves from God.
  • Eucharist

    It is through Holy Communion that we participate in Jesus Christ’s one sacrifice. As Catholics we believe that He is truly present in the Eucharist and that it is the “source and summit of the Christian life”.
  • Confirmation

    This sacrament confirms and strengthens Baptismal grace as the gift of the Holy Spirit comes upon the recipient. We help prepare young adults for this important step as they grow in their faith.
  • Marriage

    Congratulations to you and your future spouse as you begin preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony! Together you are joining in the mission to build up the Church in a bond sealed by God. We look forward to meeting with you to start this process. We do ask that you contact us 6 months in advance in order that we may have adequate time for preparation and scheduling.
  • Holy Orders

    Holy Orders is the sacrament by which a man dedicates himself to being an image of Christ. Is God calling you? Have you considered the priesthood or religious life? We regularly have seminarians at our parish that are heading down this path and we ask that you keep them in your prayers while praying for new vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
  • Anointing of the Sick

    This sacrament of healing can be administered to any member of the faithful who is in danger by reason of illness or old age. It is not necessarily provided only in immediate danger of death and it may be administered more than once to the same person.
  • Quinceanera / Sweet Sixteen

    While not a sacrament of the Church, this is a common practice for many communities and ethnic groups. You can contact the parish office for an interview and to begin the planning process.

  • Honoring Father Leahy March 24, 2018
    Hello and welcome! This past weekend I traveled to Washington, D.C. for one of our regular board meetings of the Catholic University of America. The Boston area is well represented on the board, with myself, Deacon Stephen Kaneb and Sister Janet Eisner as members. While I was there, I also had the opportunity to celebrate […]
