The celebration of sacramental Marriage is an important and memorable occasion in the life of our parishioners - and the beautiful environment of our church only enhances the celebration. While we give priority in scheduling and pre-marriage preparation to our registered parishioners, people frequently ask if Catholics who are not parishioners are able to celebrate their wedding here at Sacred Heart. Yes, they can. All wedding celebrations here at Sacred Heart should be planned a minimum of 9 months in advance and require participation in the Marriage Preparation process. All inquiries regarding Marriage celebration should be directed to the Wedding Coordinator at 229-1595. See our Marriage Preparation pages for more information.

Sacred Heart Catholic Community has an active program for the development and deepening of our children’s faith. We offer an on-going program for children as part of life-long faith formation. This is the Children’s Faith Formation Program (also called CCD). In addition, there are Sacramental Preparation programs for children preparing for their first reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (Holy Communion) – as well as for youths preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
These sacraments for adults are part of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). RICA is the ministry of God's welcoming embrace symbolized by the Church's acceptance of new members of the family of Catholic Christians. RCIA is a journey of faith that not-yet baptized persons as well as baptized persons complete with the help of a sponsor, the catechists, the discernment team, and, above all, on the strength of their own conviction. The only requirements for joining are a heart open to on-going conversion, a desire to explore a Catholic Christian idenity, and become community.
As an adult, if you have already received the Sacraments of Baptism and Frist Eucharist, but you have yet to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, we have two programs a year (Spring and Fall) to prepare adult candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
