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.

Couples are required to participate in a retreat, classes 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.
