Sacrament of Baptism
Before an infant baptism parents must attend a baptismal catechesis class. Classes are held on the first Friday of each month at 7PM in the Rectory Meeting Room. If there is a change due to bad weather parents will be notified. Participants should park in the Rectory parking lot and enter the door on that level. *Dates for baptism are set once the class has been attended and all paperwork is received and complete. Baptisms take place once a month on a Sunday at 2PM. To register for class or to ask a question call 508-875-6009.
Sacrament of Marriage Arrangements should be made with one of the priests at least one year prior to the intended date of marriage so that all requirements can be completed. Please Note: Saturday weddings can be celebrated from 10:00AM to 1:00PM at the latest. Sunday weddings can be celebrated from 1:30PM to 4:00PM at the latest.
Pastoral Ministry Visitations to the sick and the homebound are made by Pastoral Visitors who bring the Blessed Sacrament and offer spiritual befriending on a weekly basis. If a member of your family, or friend, or neighbor is in the hospital or is home-bound, we would appreciate hearing from you. Kindly call the Pastoral Ministry Office at 508-875-6009 to request assistance.
