Sacraments

The St. Joseph Parish Community welcomes and celebrates with those who search for a meaningful life experience in Worship, Faith, and Sacrament.

The Sacraments of Initiation—Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion—are the three primary sacraments, on which the rest of our life as a Christian depends.

RCIA is the forum for adults to learn more about the Catholic Faith and to prepare to receive the sacraments. Children learn about the Catholic Faith and prepare to receive the sacraments in a Catholic School or through our PREP program.

SACRAMENT OF HEALING & MINISTRY TO THE SICK
