In Baptism, we celebrate the beginning of a lifelong relationship with Christ—one that is rooted in love, nurtured in community, and lived out in faith. Through the waters of baptism, your child is welcomed into the family of God and into the life of our parish.
In First Reconciliation and First Communion, children are drawn more deeply into the heart of Christ and the life of the Church. Through Reconciliation, they encounter God’s tender mercy and the gift of beginning again. Through the Eucharist, they are nourished by Christ’s very presence and united with the community at the table of the Lord. These sacraments mark sacred milestones: moments of grace that invite young hearts into a lifelong rhythm of forgiveness, communion, and belonging.
In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we encounter the mercy of God in a deeply personal way. Whether you come burdened or simply seeking renewal, this sacrament offers peace, healing, and a fresh start. Through honest reflection and the words of absolution, we are reminded that God never tires of forgiving us, and always welcomes us home.
In Confirmation, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit poured out in fullness upon the baptized. This sacrament strengthens us with grace to live our faith with courage, joy, and conviction. Rooted in prayer, learning, and the support of the Church, Confirmation empowers young people to take their place as active witnesses to Christ in the world. It is not a graduation, but a deepening – a new beginning in a faith that continues to grow.
In the Sacrament of Marriage, a couple enters into a sacred covenant, becoming a visible sign of God’s love in the world. Rooted in faith and strengthened by grace, Christian marriage is a lifelong commitment to love, sacrifice, and mutual service. At Old St. Mary’s, we rejoice in walking with couples as they prepare to begin this beautiful vocation, grounded in Christ and nurtured in community.
The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of comfort, strength, and healing. Whether facing illness, aging, or the nearness of death, this sacrament assures us that we are not alone. Christ, the Divine Physician, draws near to offer peace in suffering and hope in times of uncertainty. Through prayer and anointing, the Church surrounds the sick with love and the healing presence of God.
