RCIA, Sacraments & Supportive Roles

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)  The Easter Season welcomes new Catholics or those adult Catholics who wish to complete their Sacraments of Initiation (Holy Communion, Confirmation) into full communion with the Church.  This is a process of prayer, study, and decision.  Any adult who wishes to inquire further should Bob Federlein at (412)828-9450.

Marriage Contact the church office for a packet of information about preparing for Christian marriage and planning your wedding. Study this information even before you get engaged! Then plan to meet with a priest at least six months prior to your wedding date. No date can be confirmed until this meeting. Couples must attend an approved pre-marriage preparation program.

Ministry to the Sick The Pastor is available for sacramental ministry in the home.   The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is celebrated by the community on the First Sunday in October.   Please call the Rectory to inform us of the needs of the sick.

Sponsors  Godparents for Baptism and Sponsors for Confirmation provide a great service to the Church, as well as to the one receiving the Sacrament.  By their active and frequent participation in the Sacramental life of the Church, they witness by their actions what their role signifies.  Sponsors for either Sacrament must be 16 years of age, have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and be active participating members of a Parish. Certificates can be obtained from the Rectory.

Baptism   Through Baptism we joyfully welcome new members into the community of Faith. Infant Baptisms are celebrated on Sundays after the 11:00am Mass, usually between 12:00 Noon and 12:20pm. Parents are required to participate in one pre-Baptism seminar which are offered quarterly. Contact Parish Office at 412-828-3065.
