Sacramental Preparation

The St. Joseph Catholic Church Office of Evangelization, under the guidance of the  
 Holy Spirit, the Bishop, and the Pastor, is committed to affirming and assisting our
parish community in forming Disciples.

We will provide opportunities for the parish community to encounter God’s love through a relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

The Seven Sacraments continue the saving work of Jesus until he comes again and form the center of the celebration of the Christian mystery. Through the ministry of the Church, all are invited to hear the Good News, follow Christ and share in these saving mysteries: mysteries that symbolize, make possible, realize and nurture the grace of the sacraments in the baptized.

Participation in the sacraments ... is foundational to sustain the faithful in union with the very life of the Trinity.Participation in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, is not simply an option; rather, it is foundational to sustain the faithful in union with the very life of the Trinity and to strengthen them for the rigors of living their faith as committed disciples.
