Bp. Barron's Reflections
Thursday, May 28, 2026
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus heals a blind man. Physical blindness is an evocative symbol of the terrible blindness of the soul that all of us sinners experience. When the pusilla anima (small soul) reigns, when the imago Dei (image of God) is covered over, we see within the narrow spectrum of our fearful desires.
Baptism
Infants should be baptized within a few weeks of their birth. Please call the parish office to arrange a meeting with the pastor to schedule the baptism and prepare for the sacrament. This may be done even before the baby is born.
Sacramental Prep
Children are usually prepared for their first Reconcilliation in 2nd Grade.
They are usually prepared for Confirmation and First Eucharist in 3rd grade.
Please call or e-mail the parish to enroll your child in sacramental preparation.
OCIA
Those who are not Catholic, but would like to learn more about the Catholic Church, or who might even be considering becoming Catholic please call or e-mail the parish. Preparation may be done one-on-one or if there is enough interest, a class may be organized.
