Sacraments

Baptism

Parents of infants are asked to contact the parish office at (920)868-3241, to arrange their participation in the Baptism preparation program. This includes a couple of meetings with the Pastor or Deacon. A sponsor for Baptism should be at least 16 years old, baptised and confirmed in the Catholic Church. A baptised non-Catholic may be chosen, in addition to the Catholic sponsor. Parents may go through Baptism preparation before their child is born. The Baptism usually takes place during one of the parish weekend Masses.

Eucharist & 1st Eucharist

The Eucharist is celebrated during all of our Mass times. For 1st Eucharist, any baptised child desiring to receive Communion is asked to enroll in the Parish Religious Education Program. 1st Communion is usually celebrated on the first weekend of May each year. Adults are asked to call the parish office at (920)868-3241.
