Welcome to the family! Baptism is the basis for the whole of our Christian life. (CCC 1213)

We are excited to journey with you and your loved ones as you prepare for your child’s baptism or your own.

First Reconciliation & Communion

First Communion formation centers on the Order of the Mass. Children gain an understanding of the Mass and the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

Children must be in the second grade or higher and have prepared for and celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least one catechetical school year earlier.

If you’re interested in First Reconciliation & Communion at the North Glengarry Parishes fill in the contact form below.

Reconciliation & Mass

The sacrament of Reconciliation re-unites us with God after our sin has separated us. 

Jesus offers us himself in the Eucharist. The Eucahrist is the source and summit of our faith and we invite you to celebrate with us

Please see our events page for the next available time to joing us for Mass or celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation.

Confirmation

Confirmation formation looks at the identity and role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We help registrants understand the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and how the Gifts can help them be disciples of Christ.

Confirmation students are blessed with a sponsor to guide them in the preparation process and to present them to the bishop.

If you’re interested in confirmation at St. Finnan’s fill in the contact form below.

Marriage

Congratulations on your engagement! The next weeks and months will likely be a blur of anticipation and planning. As you are busy sharing the great news and throwing around wedding day ideas, we encourage you to invite God into this exciting and joyful time in your relationship. Embracing marriage as a sacrament will transform your whole life together and take your love to a much deeper level.
