BAPTISMS:
Baptism is celebrated for your convenience on
almost every Sunday of the year at 12:30 p.m!
Church Law requires that children be baptized
in the first few weeks after being born. Generally,
parents should be parishioners for at least 6
months and must be going to Mass weekly and on
all Holy Days of Obligation. New parents meet
with the Pastor for proper instruction. Simply
call the Rectory to get everything arranged!

MARRIAGE:
God wills that Marriage is a love that
endures until death. This takes His help and the
Wisdom of the Church. To be married at St. Josaphat
Church, at least one member of the couple must
be registered with the Parish for at least one
year; and the couple must be going to Mass every
Sunday and all required Holy days. So
that your love remains strong, true, and forever,
we get you ready by meetings with the Pastor,
Marriage Preparation Instructions, and (since
the use of any form of “birth control/contraception”
is a mortal sin), Natural Family Planning Classes
are required.

NEW
PARISHIONERS:
We are always happy to welcome new people to our
congregation. Please register at the rectory as
soon as possible.We hope you will find a helpful
family of faith with us. If you are moving out
of the parish, please notify the rectory.

WANT
TO BECOME CATHOLIC? DO YOU NEED SOME QUESTIONS
ANSWERED BEFORE YOU CAN JOIN?
We are the place for you! We welcome all persons
unbaptized, Christians from other Church communities
who want to enter the Church, and all Catholicswho
need to “catch up” on their Sacraments!We
get you ready for baptism, entrance into “Full
Communion,” and getting “caught up”
on your Sacraments! We’ll also answer all
your questions and help you decide if this is
what you should be doing. Preparation is handled
by the Pastor himself, so that you will receive
instruction directly from a priest. Call us at
any time of the year! If you’re interested
and eager, you’ll find we match your eagerness
and enthusiasm! Call the Rectory and ask for Father
Rick!

LETTERS
OF RECOMMENDATION:
Like you,we think being a sponsor for Baptism
and Confirmation is a huge honor! With the Letter,
we verify for another priest and parish that you
fulfill all these requirements to be a sponsor
for Baptism and Confirmation: (1) you must be
16 years of age or older; (2) you must be baptized
Catholic, confirmed, and made your First Holy
Communion; (3) married persons must be married
in a Catholic ceremony,
or one sanctioned by the Church; (4) you must
be living a life in line with the Catholic Faith
e.g., “living with” someone outside
of marriage, being divorced and then re-married
outside the Church, “leaving” the
Catholic Faith, missing Mass, getting excommunicated,
would all be examples of things disqualifying
someone from receiving a Letter of Recommendation.
The Church is “firm” on these requirements.
Any problems can be taken directly to Fr. Rick
for a fair hearing. |
