Sacraments of Baptism & Wedding
Anyone wishing to be baptized or married in our parish is required to make a firm commitment of participation in the life of the Church, which starts with consistently attending the worship services. Consistency does not have to be every Sunday right away. You may start with once a month, or once every two months. Do that for a year or two, and then improve on it. Always progress, avoid regression.
Then, for Baptism enroll into catechism classes - a period of preparation that may take up to a year; for wedding enroll into Christian Marriage Preparation talks (around 9 sessions).
Confessions
Saturday after Vespers or by appointment
