Adoration and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament: 

Holy Hour for Vocations:  most Thursdays, 5:30--6:30 PM, Sept-May

First Friday Holy Hour: following the 8:00am Mass

Confessions:     Saturdays, 3:00 - 3:45 PM and by appointment.  Those who are homebound or in hospital may also request the priest to visit them for Confession

Anointing of the Sick:  This sacrament can only be administered by a priest. Please call the office to arrange for this.  In case of emergency when there is no priest available, we will have a Deacon, or a lay Minister of Care attend to your spiritual needs. Anointing can also be administered after the daily 8AM Mass if you ask us in advance.

Holy Communion in the Hospital and for the Homebound

Due to Patient Privacy laws, please be sure to register at the hospital as a Catholic from our parish OR call us directly if you wish to have a Minister of Care bring Holy Communion to you. Del Webb and Boswell hospitals will notify us of your hospital room if you have informed them of your desire for a visit.

Baptism, Confirmation & First Communion Preparation:  We have sacramental preparation and Catholic formation programs for all ages. Call us and see Parish Information below.

Marriage:  Please set up an appointment with our marriage coordinator, Joe Lukaszewski at least six months before your wedding. Start by calling the office and filling out a wedding request. Couples are required to participate in a retreat, an introductory class on Natural Family Planning, pre-marriage counseling with a Catholic counselor; sessions with the deacon/priest, the music director and marriage coordinator.

Marriage Nullity:   Please contact our marriage nullity coordinator, Joe Lukaszewski.  He will help you apply to the Diocesan Tribunal to determine if you are eligible to have your marriage annulled and can be remarried by the Catholic Church.

Funerals:    Please call us directly or call the funeral home of your choice. We will prepare a dignified celebration of life and faith with you. Music can be arranged with our Music Director. Funeral Rites may include any combination of the following rites: a Vigil or Wake Service, Funeral Mass in the church or Funeral Liturgy at the Funeral Home and a Committal Service at the cemetery.   Catholic Cemeteries in our Diocese
