Worship and Sacraments
Baptism
It is required to register six week previous the date you are planning to baptize your child to plan it. Children from birth up to 6 year-old can be baptized without previous catechetical preparation on their part. Parents and godparents have to attend two preparation workshops and an interview with one of our priests.
Children 6 to 12 years old should register in religious education during one year in order to be baptized during Holy Week.
First Communion, Reconciliation and Confirmation
Children 6 to 12 years old should register in religious education during one year in order to receive first communion and reconciliation during Holy Week.
Weddings
To initiate the process, call our parish office at (312) 226-6161 to get information about available dates. To allow adequate time for preparation process, weddings should be scheduled at least six months in advance.
Religious Education
We prepare young adults between 13 and 18 years of age to receive confirmation and to be youth leaders.
We also offer sacramental preparations for mental disable children.
Parents can also participate with their children in religious education classes to learn more about their catholic faith. After receiving sacraments everybody can keep learning about our faith.
Registrations: August and September.
RICA – Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.
Adults that have not yet received baptism, communion, confirmation or reconciliation can learn about their catholic faith during Sundays’ classes to receive sacraments later during Easter. They will receive formation in their faith community and will learn how to follow Christ faithfully.
Quinceañeras
Young Ladies that will celebrate their 15 birthday have to register six months in advance and need to participate in a preparation workshop.
