Baptisms: Parents wishing to have their child baptized are asked to make an appointment with the pastor, at least one month in advance.
Baptisms are normally celebrated within one of our Sunday Masses, but may also be scheduled on Sunday afternoons, directly following the last
Mass.
Marriage: Couples who wish to marry in the Catholic Church are asked to contact the pastor at least six months in advance, in order to meet with
him before setting a date, or making any further arrangements. Couples are also required to attend an approved marriage preparation course, in
addition to regular meetings with the pastor.
Confirmation: Students in Seventh Grade (& any in Grades 8-12 who are not confirmed) prepare & celebrate the Sacrament each year. College
students & other adults who wish to be Confirmed should contact the Pastor.
Anointing of the Sick: Communal celebrations of this sacrament occur twice annually (Advent & Lent). Individual anointings are available upon
request, or by appointment. Should you have family or friends in need of the sacrament, please contact the pastor as soon as possible.
RCIA: The “Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults” is the process by which an adult becomes a member of the Catholic Church. If you, or someone
you know, is interested in joining the Church, please contact the pastor for more information. Weekly RCIA sessions follow the ONU academic
calendar; typically Tuesdays from the end of September to mid-May. For preparation and celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation for children
(outside the preparation schedule of the Parish School of Religion) contact the Pastor.
*SNOW ALERT* for the weekend of February 6 & 7, 2010: MASS will still be celebrated this weekend.
However, please use your best discretion when it comes to road travel. DO NOT risk your life (or another's) if the roads are too bad! If you're in doubt, check the local "Snow Emergency" level. If it's listed at a "Level 3," then it's probably best to stay safe at home, and simply spend some time with the Lord, in prayer.
God bless you! - Fr. Dave
