The word Sacrament comes from the Latin word sacramentum, which means a sign of the sacred. The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred and significant for us as Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing Gods saving presence. If you learn more about the sacraments, you can celebrate them more fully.
BAPTISMS - BAUTISMOS
Parents must come to the rectory in person to make the arrangements. Please bring the original birth certificate of the child to be baptized.
Los padres deben venir a la rectoría en persona para hacer los arreglos con anticipación. Por favor traigan el original de la partida de nacimiento del niño que va ha ser bautizado.
The Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ’s Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
Formation for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion is available through our Office Of Religious Education 718-896-4388.
La Eucaristia o Sagrada Comunion, es al mismo tiempo un sacrificio y una comida sagrada. Nosotros creemos en la presencia real de Jesus en ella, quien murio por nuestros pecados. Al recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesus, nos nutrimos espiritualment y nos acercamos mas a Dios.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God’s fidelity to us.
The Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God’s values.
Arrangements must be made at least 6 months prior to the wedding. Either the bride or the groom must be registered members of our parish.
Arreglos deben hacerse en la Parroquia al menos 6 meses antes de la boda. El novio o la novia deben ser feligreses registrados de la parroquia.
In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, also known as Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness. Through this sacrament, the Church comforts and supports the person who is suffering and continues the healing ministry of Christ. For those who are about to die, the Church, in addition to the Anointing of the Sick, offers the Eucharist as viaticum – food for the journey home.
