Anointing of the Sick and the Viaticum
We celebrate the Communal Anointing of the sick on the last Saturday of the month at the 9:00 am Eucharist. For those who are preparing to enter the hospital, please call the Parish Center at 669-0068 so that the anointing can be celebrated before entry. For the Pastoral Care of the Sick and the Dying at Home, please also call the Parish Center.
Baptism
For those seeking Baptism, we offer three opportunities for discernment and preparation:

	Infants - Parents are requested to call at least two months before child's birth for an appointment with a Priest or Deacon to make arrangements. New Parents' Instruction Class is held on the 2nd Friday of the month from 8:00 to 10:00 pm in the O'Connell Room. We baptize every Sunday at 1:30 pm.
	Children of Catechetical Age - Parents can all the Catholic Faith Formation office at 631-587-4717 to join our preparation program with their children. We begin in the fall and baptize at the Easter Vigil and on Pentecost Sunday.
	Adults - Interested adults who desire Baptism or completion of the Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation or Eucharist) can call the Parish Center to inquire about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
