An evening session reflecting on the gift of the Sacrament of Baptism is provided monthly for new parents. It may be attended before or after birth. Call the Religious Education Office to register.
Sacrament of Marriage	The Sacrament of Marriage is more than a wedding day; it is a lifetime of committed love and so requires a period of spiritual preparation. Arrangements must be made at least six (6) months in advance of the anticipated date by contacting one of the priests. A date will not be set until a couple has met with the priest.
Religious Education	All children of the parish are expected to receive religious education in the parish school or CCD program. Arrangements for the CCD program can be made through the Director of Religious Education.
Initiation into the Church (RCIA & CIC)	RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) and CIC (Christian Initiation of Children) are processes by which unbaptized persons and baptized persons from other faith traditions or with no formal religious education are brought into the Church. Please contact the Director of Religious Education.
Youth Group	The Youth Group is open to all high school teenagers of the parish and to their friends. It offers a variety of social, educational, and service activities to assist young adults in their growth toward maturity in the faith. For details of upcoming events, contact the Director of Youth Ministry.
