Sacramental Guidelines:
The Sacramental Guidelines of the Archdiocese of Washington require that readiness be determined before children receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation. Further questions, contact Father Hill.
Sacrament of Reconciliation:
Offered on Saturdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. or by appointment with a priest. Community reconciliation services are held each year during Advent and Lent.
Sacrament of Matrimony:
Couples contemplating marriage should contact one of the Parish priests at least six months in advance of their intended marriage.
Anointing of the Sick:
For persons suffering from a serious illness, it is intended as a source of comfort. It is not necessary to be in danger of death.
