Baptism
“Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.”
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other Sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: “Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.
First Communion
The Sacrament of First Holy Communion is offered to children who have completed a two-year preparation process through our Faith Formation First Communion Program. Registration is open to children ages 7 to 12.
Confirmation & OCIA
“For by the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit”.
Reconciliation
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell.
Christ instituted the sacrament of Penance for all sinful members of his Church: above all for those who, since Baptism, have fallen into grave sin, and have thus lost their baptismal grace and wounded ecclesial communion. It is then that the sacrament of Penance offers a new possibility to convert and to recover the grace of justification.
Marriage
Witness to Love is marriage prep that works to connect couples to their parishes through mentors and powerful online resources!
The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
Anointing of the Sick & Homebound
It is God’s promise in the midst of our serious physical difficulties.

Funerals
The death of a loved one is a difficult and sacred time. The Church comes together in prayer to commend the deceased to God’s mercy and to offer comfort and hope to those who mourn. The parish community of St. Anthony Claret is here to support you and your family through every step of the funeral planning process.
