Sacraments

Infant Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated for registered and active parishioners who have participated in our baptismal preparation.  Please contact the Parish Office to arrange for your baby’s baptism or for further information.

First Eucharist (First Communion)
When Jesus instituted the Eucharist he gave a final meaning to the blessing of the bread and the wine and the sacrifice of the lamb.  Celebrated each Spring, the Sacrament of First Eucharist is for our Parish children in second grade or ages 7 and older.  Participation in our GIFT program complements First Eucharist.

Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of the grace we received at Baptism.  Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ and increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us.  Confirmation takes place each Spring preceded by sacramental preparation beginning in the Fall.  Confirmation is open to all in 10th grade or above who have been active in the GIFT program.

Marriage
Whether you are a registered and practicing parishioner or new to our parish, if you wish to celebrate your marriage at Our Lady of the Valley please contact the Parish office at least six months to a year prior to the anticipated date and before any other arrangements have been finalized.  No date will be reserved until a practicing commitment of three months is made.  A Pre-Cana marriage preparation program is also available through the Diocese.

Reconciliation
You may celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation after our Saturday Vigil Mass, before Sunday mass from 8:15am-8:45am and by appointment with Father Juanito.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) is the process for those wishing to explore becoming a member of our Catholic Christian Community and is designed for:
• Non-baptized adults seeking membership in the Christian Catholic community
• Adults baptized in other Christian communities who seek full communion with the Roman Catholic Church
• Adults baptized as Catholics, but never confirmed

Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick brings Christ’s healing power to the seriously ill or dying. Christ's comforting grace strengthens the soul through forgiveness of sin.  Anyone who is ill or infirmed may request the anointing by contacting the Parish Office.
