Sacraments


Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated on Saturdays from 4 PM to 5 PM and anytime by appointment.

Baptism - The celebration of Infant Baptism is usually celebrated after the last Mass on the first and third Sundays of the month and during Mass on the last Sunday of the month.  In preparation for this sacrament, expectant parents are asked to call the parish office (610-666-5820) to register for our Baptism Preparation program (Pre-Jordan) at least three to four months before the birth of their child.  Information concerning godparents and the necessary preparations for the ceremony will be communicated during this session.  Our next Pre-Jordan class will be Wednesday, August 27th at 7 PM in the Parish Conference Center.

Matrimony is administered at a mutually convenient time.  The Archdiocese requires that arrangements be made at least six months in advance.  Couples are asked to make arrangements at the parish office in person.  One of the parties must have family registered in the parish at the time the couple comes to make arrangements.  Participation in a Pre-Marital Program is mandatory.
