As a Catholic Church Community, we believe that preparation for and celebration of the sacraments involves our parish community as well as our families since at Baptism, we become members of the Body of Christ. Therefore, family members and parishioners are involved in the preparation process for the sacraments as well as in the living out of Christian Life.
