THE SACRAMENTS

Baptism

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. It is the Sacrament of initiation.

Prior to booking, please submit the registration requirements. Please make sure that your preferred baptism date is still available, download the registration form, fill it up, then send it together with your child's birth certificate copy, either by email or in-person during office hours.  Due to our current COVID restrictions, kindly call or e-mail the office regarding your inquiries.  Please observe proper social distancing with face mask on.  Please sanitize the pews after use.  Admin fee of $10.00 can be paid out on or before the baptism date.  If you would like to give a love offering for the church, please hand-in your donation to the presiding priest.

Baptism seminars are usually held every 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month starting with the 7:00PM mass.

The Holy Eucharist

Catholics believe the Holy Eucharist, or Holy Mass, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

Reconciliation (Confession)

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others.

Schedule: 30 Minutes before Masses, the priests are available for confession. Just approach them or you may call the parish office for appointment.

Confirmation

Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Schedule: Normally our Confirmation is integral part of our catechism classes. However, as part of our fiesta celebration held on the last week June, we have Adult Confirmation (18 years old and above).

Matrimony

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.

Holy Orders

In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.

Anointing of the Sick

The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

Schedule: Anointing & Funeral is by request

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of infant baptism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices.  This is usually celebrated annually as part of the Fiesta Mass every last week of June.

Convalidation of Marriage

The Church very much wants to assist couples who later want to enter into valid Catholic marriage, which offers them pastoral and spiritual support as they need it. When they are ready and free to do so, they celebrate what is called a convalidation, from the Latin word meaning “to firm up” or “to strengthen.”  This is sometimes referred to as the blessing of a marriage, in which they can return to celebrate their Sacrament life.

It is important to realize that a convalidation is not merely a renewal of vows made previously, but is a new act of consent by each spouse. This new act of consent is essential to marriage, and the words that the couple expresses are the outward sign of the gift of self that they exchange.

“It is the presence of the Lord, who reveals Himself and the gift of His grace, that will render your marriage full and profoundly true.” – Pope Francis
