The gathering to commemorate the Lords Supper is the source of our Catholic Faith. To view our Eucharistic liturgy schedule please return to the home page of this web site or view the individual parish calendars.

The sealing of a Christian with the gift of the Holy Spirit is a jumping off point to go out to the world and share the good news. In our Archdiocese, the earliest opportunity for this Sacrament is the junior year of High School with prior formation in previous years being a prerequisite.

For more information on being confirmed as a youth, please contact Sandi Schmitt at sasjlifelongff@archmil.org

The gathering of the faithful to witness the commitment of love is truly a witness of the presence of God. We are happy to accompany you on this journey though we do need you to meet some basic criteria:

The gift of the healing of Jesus Christ is available to any baptized Catholic suffering a serious challenge to health of body, mind or spirit. You can email the parish director, Deacon Stanley Lowe lowes@archmil.org, or call either parish office to make arrangements.

If you are feeling called to investigate the priesthood or consecrated life, we wish to assist you. You can contact the parish director, Deacon Stanley Lowe lowes@archmil.org or any staff member.  Also, you can contact our Archdiocesan Vocations Office (800) 769-9373, www.archmil.org/.
