state of grace receive communion during Mass. Those Christians who are not in
full communion with the Catholic Church and Roman Catholics not able to receive
Holy Communion are welcome to receive a blessing. Those wishing to receive a
blessing are asked to approach the priest with their arms crossed over their
chess. Those receiving Holy Communion in your hands please put it in your mouth
before leaving the minister/priest.

undergoing a preparation with the parish priest. Baptisms can then be
celebrated at either 3pm on a Saturday or 1pm on a Sunday on the 1st
