Anointing of the Sick

Please ask the Parish Office to arrange for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. Or ask a priest before or after Mass to receive it here before your trip to the hospital.

Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month following the 11:30 Mass.  Parents need to be registered members and should be faithful in attending Mass.  Participation in the baptismal preparation class is required.  Please call the Parish Office to make an appointment.

Weddings

The Sacrament of Marriage - For a wedding to be celebrated in the Catholic Diocese of Rockford, both individuals must be 19 years of age at the time of the Wedding.  You must contact the Pastor at    least  six (6) months in advance of your wedding date. This is required in order to enable sufficient time to complete an effective marriage preparation and collect the necessary paperwork.
