Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Sick is administered to Catholics who request it at any time, whether at home or in the hospital. Parishioners preparing for serious surgery are encouraged to receive the sacrament following one of the weekday Masses, so that members of the parish community can participate in the prayer.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Thursdays, 7:00 PM, September - May
RCIA is a journey of faith process designed to serve unbaptized adults and adults baptized in another Christian faith tradition. Its purpose is to answer questions about the Catholic faith and to prepare those who decide to become Catholic. After their time of preparation, those who are to be Baptized, or to come into full communion with the Catholic Church, celebrate the Initiation sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, and Communion) at the Easter Vigil.
