First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
The First Sacrament Team helps prepare parents and children as they journey towards the Lord’s table. Both of these First Sacraments are prepared for at home and as a family.

RCIA
The RCIA program is the process for adults to investigate, journey and then become a Roman Catholic. It is for those adults who have never been baptized in any faith; those adults baptized in another Christian faith and now wishing to become Catholic; and those adults who were baptized Catholic but never completed their initiation with the Sacrament of Confirmation. The sessions are on Thursday evenings, beginning in late September and continuing until after Easter. The Sacraments are received at the Easter Vigil. Please click here to register or contact Geri Tarkington at the parish office, 428-8547.  Please click here for the sponsor form.

Marriage
A wedding in the Roman Catholic Church is a sacrament. It is therefore not simply a ceremony, but an act of worship. Since the bride and groom minister this sacrament to each other, they will need the guidance of pastoral leadership. The pastor and staff will instruct the couple in the proper and most appropriate way to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage. This joyous sacrament is celebrated on Saturdays at 2:00 pm. If you are a registered parishioner and interested in being married at Star of the Sea, please contact Geri Tarkington at the parish office at least eight months prior to your planned wedding date.
