Choosing the Godparents for your child is more than an honor for a close friend or family member, prayerfully consider who will assist you and your spouse in mentoring the Catholic faith for your child.  Once you choose your Godparents, you can give the Sponsorship Certificates to your Godparents who should sign it, get it verified by the parish they belong to, and return it to the parish office.  Please have your Godparents return the sponsorship certificate forms as soon as possible once you've confirmed your date.

Holy Orders

Ordination is the rite of the Sacrament of Holy Orders by which a Bishop, as the successor of the Apostles, confers the Order of Bishop, Priest (“Presbyter”), or Deacon on a man, enabling him to exercise a sacred power which comes from Christ on behalf of the Church. The ordination ceremony includes various rituals rich in meaning and history, including prostration, laying on of hands, anointing of hands, giving of the chalice and paten, and the sign of peace. If you are interested in becoming a decon or priest, please visit the diocesan website and talk with our parish clergy.
