Sacrament of Baptism:

• Anyone requesting baptism must be a registered member in the parish.
• Parents must attend a Baptismal Instruction class.
• Baptisms are scheduled at various times on weekend Masses. Please call the rectory to find the scheduled baptism times and to register for the instruction.

Sacrament of Matrimony:

• In accord with Worcester Diocesan policy, a couple planning to marry must be registered members of the parish and must contact the rectory to begin the Marriage Preparation Program at least one year prior to the planned wedding.
• The date chosen for the proposed wedding is reserved, but finally booked only when the Marriage Preparation Program has been completed

Funerals:

• Arrangements for funerals are ordinarily made for the family by the Funeral Home.
• Either the pastor or the Deacon will then contact the family to plan the funeral Mass.

Sacrament of Penance:

• The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated each Saturday from 4:00 PM - 4:30 PM or by appointment.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults:

• The Rite of Christian Initiation (R.C.I.A.) for Adults is a religious education process for adults who wish to become members of the Catholic Church. It also prepares Catholics who have been baptized but have not received all or any of the other sacraments of initiation (First Eucharist and Confirmation). The process involves instruction in the teachings of the Church and reflection on the Word, usually beginning in the fall and culminating with the reception of the sacraments during the Easter Vigil.
• To register for the R.C.I.A. process call the parish rectory at 508-393-2413.
