SACRAMENTS Through sacraments Catholics bookmark their journey in Christ evolving their spiritual commitment to God. Again we urge all parishioners, if they have not already done so, or are new to our church community to register with the Church so we can be of assistance to you as you journey through this life in Christ. BAPTISM MANDATORY BAPTISMAL CLASS In a continuing effort to enhance our Catholic Experience at St Mary of Mount Virgin Church, we are pleased to announce a course in Baptismal Preparation for expecting and new parents. The purpose of the class is to clarify the rules and regulations of the Catholic Church in regard to Baptism - especially the selection of Godparents. All parents planning a Baptism at St Mary's or St Theresa's must attend this class. Please contact Sr. Carmela at 732-545-0514 to register. Applications for Baptism are available through the Parish Office ONLY. Baptism is available to all new born children as well as adults through the RCIA program. The importance of being a Godparent is simple: should the parents of the baptized perish for any reason, the child, having been baptized in the Catholic Faith, should have no interruption or change in their Faith because of such a tragedy, and therefore, the designation of a Godparent is one that requires careful deliberation. Please download and consider carefully the information provided here in regard to Baptism into the Catholic Faith. If you have special circumstances please contact the church office to arrange for consultation. All Parish contact information can be found to the left under the "Parish Contacts" button.
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM IS CELEBRATED AFTER 11:30AM SUNDAY MASS. MARRIAGE Registered, active parishioners who are planning to be married should contact the Parish Office one year in advance of the proposed wedding date in order to allow for proper pre-marital preparation. "When a marriage is freely contracted, the man and wife, whether they are aware of it or not, enter the presence of God. There is always a silent Companion, perhaps never given a name, who embraces, preserves, redeems, and blesses all: this presence we call God.: Karl Rahner, SJ
ANOINTING THE SICK Please call the Parish Office if you or a family member are hospitalized or need placement on our homebound Communion List. In the event of hospital emergency, ask for Pastoral Care to Contact the Catholic Priest on call, then contact the Parish.
RECONCILIATION Every second in life is a new opportunity to reconcile your soul to our Lord and renew your relationship with Him! The sacrament of reconciliation or confession is offered every Saturday after the 4PM Mass. If you prefer, an appointment can also be made. We welcome all former Catholics to come to our beautiful church and start their journey back to Christ through the sacrament of reconciliation - it is never too late to change the road you are on!
EUCHARIST We celebrate the body and blood of Jesus Christ every day of the week through the Liturgy of the Eucharist! If you are seeking information on how your child can become a participant in the Eucharist please click on the "instruction" button.
HOLY ORDERS We live in an age that has spoken the word "Love" so much, we believe by its frequent utterance from our lips that we really possess a depth of it - meditation upon the scripture is the first step to considering a life dedicated to the salvation of souls - the next step is to speak with those who already have. Anyone desiring more information on how to join the Priesthood or the Sisterhood, please contact the Parish office.
