In This Section
As a Parish of the Catholic Church, we participate in the Sacramental Life established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithfully, our parish clergy administers the sacraments of Baptism, Penance (also called “Confession”), Eucharist, Confirmation*, Holy Matrimony, and the Sacrament of the Sick (also called “Holy Unction”).
The remaining sacrament, Holy Orders, is only administered by a bishop in the ordination of Deacons, Priests, and Bishops. **
Baptism
To arrange for a Baptism of a child, youth, or adult, please contact our parish office at 920.435.7548 for further information. Persons over the age of 5 years, will need to take part in a period of instruction prior to their baptisms.
Penance, Eucharist, Confirmation
For persons under the age of 18 who desire any or all of the Sacraments of 1st Penance, 1st Eucharist, and Confirmation, 2 years of active attendance and participation in our Veritas Faith Formation Program is required. Some exceptions may be possible for those who have attended Catholic Schools or the Religious Education programs of other parishes. Contact our parish office for further information.
