Sacraments

As Catholics, sacraments are the communal actions by which we celebrate the Christ life we share. To help you celebrate sacraments in a meaningful manner, preparation is necessary. Please contact the office to make arrangements for celebrating the sacraments during scheduled Liturgies. If you have any questions please call and ask.

We ask that you are a registered and active member of our parish to celebrate a Sacrament with us.

Sacramental Preparation

Baptism

Parent classes are offered several times each year and are required for all baptisms. Sponsors are encouraged to attend. Baptisms are celebrated at Liturgy, except during Advent & Lent.

Confirmation

Confirmation preparation will NOT be offered this year (2009-2010).

First Eucharist

CTK offers 2 models of preparation. 1. Individual prep/celebration - Contact Sr. Doris 2. group preparation - Contact Patti Cassidy at the office.

Family involvement is an integral component of both models.

Marriage

It is important that you contact the parish office as soon as you are engaged. The Diocese of Helena requires that you allow at least six months for preparation. This is an affirming process and gives you the tools for a marriage that lasts a lifetime.

Reconciliation

Children have the opportunity to prepare as a group. Contact Patti Cassidy at the office for more information.

The celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation is regularly scheduled at 4:45 on Saturday or anytime by appointment. We have special celebrations during the seasons of Advent and Lent.
