Celebrating the Sacraments...
It is with great joy that we are once again able to welcome new members into our faith community! The Sacrament of
Baptism
is being conferred at individual ceremonies where families can gather safely as witnesses to the event. Our children who recently completed second grade have been receiving
First Eucharist
one or two at a time at our regular Sunday Masses.
Our adult Catechumens, who had originally hoped to receive the
Sacraments of Initiation
(Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) at the Easter Vigil, have been or are in the process of being fully initiated into the Catholic faith.
On June 16
th
,
Jake Delaney
was welcomed into the Church and received the Sacraments of Marriage, Confirmation and First Holy Communion on the seventh anniversary of his civil marriage to his wife Kristen. Jake was Baptized as an infant in the Episcopal Church and felt the call to become Catholic after experiencing the passing of a close relative. He and Kristen also want to raise their two young children in the Catholic faith and to worship together as a family.
Our Parish welcomes
Winnie Puente Cabrera
into the Church at the 4 pm Mass this Saturday, July 11
th
when she will be Baptized and receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion. Winnie is a young working mother. She and her husband are raising 3 daughters and will soon welcome a new baby. Winnie was brought up in a Catholic home but had not received the Sacraments.
In addition to congratulating and keeping in prayer these individuals and their families we thank all those who were involved in their preparation - our Religious Education staff and catechists and our RCIA team headed by Mark and Mary DeFrancisco.
