Sacraments of Initiation - (Baptism, Chrismation, Holy Eucharist) We follow the command of the Lord to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mathew 28:19). Baptism of infants is scheduled at the Divine Liturgy on Sundays during the year except certain fast periods. One sponsor must be catholic and supply a sponsor card from their parish. The Sacrament of Penance is scheduled Saturday's following 10:00 am liturgy

Sacrament of Crowning in Marriage - Couples wishing to marry must inform the pastor a minimum of 1 year before the wedding date and be free to marry in the catholic church. Couples meet with the pastor for the pre-nuptial investigation and a session on the theology of the sacrament. Couples meet with the deacon to complete a communication and values inventory program. Pre-Cana or Engaged Encounter are required. One of the witnesses (best man or maid of honor) must be catholic.

Sacrament of Penance - The Sacrament of Penance is regularly available each Saturday 11:30 am to 12:00 noon. In addition, confessions are heard during the Christmas Fast (Advent) and the Great Fast (Lent) on Sundays between the Divine Liturgies. Visiting confessors are also scheduled at special times during the Great Fast. Confessions are also heard on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Great and Holy Week to prepare for the observance of the Lord's Resurrection.

Anointing of the Sick - Parishioners who are seriously ill and those with life endangering medical conditions as well as those who are to undergo surgery should avail themselves of the sacrament of penance and anointing of the sick. Please schedule the anointing in church prior to the hospitalization. Those who are unable or have a medical emergency, please call the rectory so a priest may go to the hospital.

Holy Communion and Visitation of the Sick - Holy communion is brought to our parishioners who are ill at the hospital, at home, or in a nursing facility by the deacon on Sundays and at other times by arrangement. Please contact the deacon or the rectory office by Friday prior to the Sunday communion visitation.

Funeral Services - The Office of Christian Burial is offered in ways to accommodate the needs of the family. The Epiphany Ladies Guild, as part of their charity, offers a Mercy Meal for families at the Parish Center following the internment.
