Information on Baptismal Preparation “Peter [said] to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.

Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick |
Anointing of the Sick – Call the rectory to make arrangements for a priest to administer this beautiful sacrament of healing. “Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” – James 5:14 |

Congratulations on your engagement! Please contact the Rectory at least 6 months in advance of the desired wedding date. Couples must complete our marriage preparation program. “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” – Matt 19:4-6
