We are made to be baptized since we have been loved into existence by our heavenly Father! God wants a personal relationship with us, and baptism is our means to begin that relationship!

Parents wishing to have their child baptized should contact the parish to make arrangements.

Jesus trusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In Confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in his presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God.

Reconciliation is held on Saturdays 9:15-9:45 am 

First Saturday of the month at St. Patrick, Benton

Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society and the world.

In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.

In the Anointing of the Sick, one who is sick or dying is anointed with the Oil of the Sick and with laying on of hands. The person unites his or her suffering with that of Jesus. The Sacrament gives spiritual strength, forgiveness, God's grace and if God wills it, physical healing.

Is anyone around you sick or dying? They should call Father and he will pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person and the Lord will raise them up. If they have committed any sins, they will be forgiven. James 5:14-15

If I am not a Catholic, how can I join the church? RCIA is a process through which non-baptized adults or those baptized in another faith tradition can become full members in the Catholic Faith! After some study and growth in fellowship, the RCIA process concludes with reception of the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Holy Eucharist.
