Confession - Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an expression of God’s forgiveness of our sins that reconciles the baptized with God and with the Church community. It is celebrated in Advent and Lent communally and individually at 4:30 pm on Saturday in the Reconciliation Room (inside the Eucharistic Chapel of Church).

Confirmation

Confirmation is a sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts of the Holy Spirit. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation and of faith in God’s fidelity to us. Our regular parish program is a two-year process that may begin with entrance to 8th grade.

Holy Orders

To discern a vocation of commitment to priesthood or religious life, please speak with a friar, or visit www.beafranciscan.org or for the diocesan priesthood visit www.raleighvocations.org.

Anointing of the Sick

In Anointing of the Sick, the Church prays that the healing grace of Christ might touch the whole person, not just for physical healing, but that the one sick might find forgiveness and hope. It is appropriate to seek it for any serious illness, physical, emotional or mental, and not just in danger of death.

The sacrament of anointing of the sick is available upon request by calling either Kathleen Owen, x241, at the parish offices. She will help schedule the sacrament for you.

Please Note: Because of Privacy Laws, hospitals may not inform us when a Catholic is in the hospital. To notify the parish, please call Kathleen Owen 919-847-8205×241
