Baptism

Parents seeking baptism for their child at Ss. Peter & Paul Church should be registered members of the parish. The Sacrament of Baptism for infants is normally offered on the last Sunday of the month, except during Lent, after 10am Mass. To schedule a baptism, please contact the Parish Office.

Baptismal Preparation Team
A member of the team meets with couples bringing their first child to the Church for Baptism. The monthly session involves brief faith sharing and explanation of the rituals.

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated on Saturday at 4:00pm - 4:45pm, and anytime by appointment. During Advent and Lent, special parish penance services are held.

Children are formally prepared for first reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation during second grade. This preparation includes parental involvement.

Confirmation

Sacramental preparation is offered yearly to all eighth graders. The preparation offers the candidate, parents and the whole community a variety of ways to reflect and explore the faith. Through Christian witness and service with parents and fellow parishioners the candidate deepens his/her faith commitment.
