Weddings Please call the Parish Office one year in advance of desired wedding date, BEFORE completing any other arrangements (reception hall, etc.).

On that day you celebrate the beginning of your life together, united to each other and Christ in the Sacrament of Matrimony.

We also ask that flower girls and ring bearers be no younger than 6 yrs. Baptisms The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the third and fourth Sundays of each month at Noon.
