ARE YOU MARRIED IN THE CHURCH? If you have been married by a judge, at a chapel in Las Vegas or by any other means outside the Church, we invite you to contact us. We will do everything we can to help you get your marriage blessed by the Church in a special ceremony known as a convalidation. It is a lot less work than you might expect. Contact Deacon Michael at [email protected] for more information.
CONFESSIONS: Individual confessions are in the church at 3 pm on Saturdays. Simply come in the front door and join the line. All are welcome.
BAPTISMS: If you have a child who needs to be baptized, contact Francesca at 340-0421 and she will arrange the time and date. BAPTISM CLASS in English is the second Sunday of the month in the Pastoral Center and the third Sunday of the month in Spanish. (THIS MONTH our Spanish class will be on Sunday, 24 April because of Easter on our normal day). Please come to the Pastoral Center at 9 am on those days if you need a baptism class.
MARRIAGE: Contact Deacon Michael if you would like to be married in the Church. That includes convalidations (having your marriage blessed). He can be reached at [email protected] or 340-0421
ANNULMENTS: Anyone in need of an annulment should contact Fr Nathan at 898-5253 ext 7 or Deacon Michael at 340-0421.
