Whether or not your family has a long tradition of going to church — even if you enter with a little trepidation — we are here to share the Good News of Jesus.

We will walk with you through the joys and challenges you may face, seeking to better understand and live into the Christian faith together. That can be a tall order! But there is help along the way:

Holy Baptism
Holy Baptism marks membership in the Church. While most people now are baptized (or "christened") as infants, some do so as older youth or adults. Either way, the promises made as part of the Baptismal Covenant help form a roadmap of the Christian Life.

First Communion
Baptized Christians of all denominations are invited to receive the Eucharist. However, first communion often occurs at a young age when a child can receive with reverence and without disruption. This practice follows the custom of the early Christian Church and helps make the child's life a part of the sacrament. To allow for greater understanding, as they grow, youth of all ages will receive ongoing sacramental instruction from the priest. (If in doubt about whether your child should take communion, please ask!)†
