SACRAMENTS AT MASSES

Our students who were scheduled to receive 1st Communion this past April and some of our adults who were to be confirmed or received into the Church at Easter Vigil were unable to receive the Sacraments since Masses were not public. Beginning this weekend, the students and adults will be scheduled to receive the Sacraments at some of our weekend and daily Masses throughout the summer. Some of our RCIA candidates will also receive the Sacraments at a special Mass on July 18. Please keep all of the recipients, their families and sponsors, and their catechists in your prayers.

BAPTISM

During weekend Masses and other times by arrangement.  Call the parish office at 317.546.4065 to schedule the required baptismal preparation class.
