BAPTISM

For information about infant baptism or to register for the baptism workshop, please contact Sue Cruickshank at sue@cruickshank.us.  Workshops are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month.  Baptisms are typically held on the first Sunday of each month, during the 11:00 AM Mass.  Baptisms for nonparishioners are typically held on Saturdays.  Attendance at a baptism workshop is required for all baptisms.   

RECONCILIATION

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (or commonly called confession) takes place on Friday from 5:00  - 6:00 p.m. or by appointment.  Upon entering the church, proceed up the center aisle to the altar and take a seat in one of the chairs to the left of the altar.  Fr. Valcin will come out of the confessional room to let you know when he is free. Or contact him directly at frval2@yahoo.com to set up an appointment.

FIRST COMMUNION

First Communion takes place annually in the spring, usually on the 4th Sunday of Easter.  First Communion preparations are held after the 11:00 AM Mass, from 12:30 - 2:00 pm, for 10 sessions, beginning in January.  For more information please contact the office.

CONFIRMATION

Confirmation for 7th and 8th grade students takes place every other year, on even years.  Preparations begin in January and run through late April, for approximately 18 weeks.  Because St. Francis of Assisi generally has few children preparing for the Sacrament, confirmation is combined with another parish as determined by the Diocese.  For more information, please contact the office.

HOLY MATRIMONY

Please visit our Weddings page for details on being married at St. Francis of Assisi Church.

ANOINTING OF THE SICK

This sacrament is administered to give strength and comfort to the ill.  Anyone who is experiencing serious illness or injury, those who are awaiting surgery, or anyone experiencing the challenges of aging or a chronic illness is encouraged to request the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.  There is no need to wait until someone is at the point of death to request anointing and you may receive the Sacrament as many times as needed throughout your life.
