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.
