The Sacrament of Baptism is normally celebrated on Sundays, either during the 10:15 AM Mass or immediately thereafter.  Normally, baptisms are not celebrated during Lent.

All parents desiring to have their first-born child baptized must meet with Deacon Barry Skipp prior to the baptism.  Godparents, while welcomed, are not required to attend the preparation session.  Parents are not required to attend preparation sessions for the baptisms of subsequent children.

In order to begin the process, parents are asked to contact the parish office at 242-4142 and to speak with Mary.

Preparation for the celebration of both sacraments takes place during the second grade.  Children who attend local Catholic schools, while not being required to attend classes here, are strongly encouraged to celebrate these sacraments here at Sacred Heart.

The preparation for and celebration of these sacraments for older children or adults can be arranged with the pastor on an individual basis.

The preparation process for Confirmation at Sacred Heart is two years in duration, beginning either in the fall of the eight or the fall of the ninth grade year.  Confirmation is celebrated in the spring of every other year.  Please contact the Director of Religious Education, Brother John Hebert, for further information.

The Confirmation of adults can be arranged individually.  Please contact the pastor for further details.

Couples who wish to celebrate their marriage at Sacred Heart should notify the parish as soon as possible, no later than six months prior to the desired date.  It is best that couples contact the parish first before scheduling a date and time for their reception.  Normally, weddings are celebrated on Friday evenings or Saturdays.  The latest time for a wedding to be scheduled on a Saturday is 2:00 PM.
