A certain amount of preparation is re-quired before recep-tion of sacraments to assure that they are received fruitfully and in accordance with the requirements of revelation and church laws. Parish registration precedes preparation for sacra-ments. Wedding - call the Parish Office at least six months in advance of the de-sired wedding date to set up the initial ap-pointment with our pastor, Father Or-lowsky. RCIA, Bap-tism, Confirmation - contact the Parish Office for more infor-mation.
