A Parish Family, served by the Missionaries of St. Charles / Scalabrinians
Although not properly a Sacrament, thanking the Lord for the gift of life is an honorable custom for believers. Celebrating the 15th birthday of your daughter / son with a Special Blessing and the Celebration of the Eucharist is something very appropriate for it provides our youth with the possibility to renew their faith commitment before the altar of the Lord.
Please contact the Parish Office at least three months in advance to organize the celebration of Thanksgiving.
Not meant to substitute the Sacrament of Baptism, giving thanks to the Lord for the birth of a new child is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the gift of life that God bestows in a family. Presenting your newborn to the Church is an opportunity to gather as a family and rejoice together with our faith community for the arrival of a baby in your family.
Presentation and Blessing takes place after Sunday Masses. We encourage you to call the Parish Office to request this special intention
