The individual reception of this Sacrament of Healing should take place whenever a person is seriously ill, or prior to a surgery, or in danger of death. Please call Fr. Kramer at 732-2234 or the Parish Office at 732-7383.

Holy Orders
This Sacrament is received at the call of the Bishop.

Matrimony
In order that the process of sacramental preparation for marriage may be scheduled and completed, all marriage arrangements must begin at least six (6) months in advance of the desired date. It is the official policy of the Diocese of Rockford that those to be married must be at least 19 years old and that they take part in an instructional program that includes a pre-marriage seminar. No wedding will be scheduled later than 2:00 pm on Saturday. All wedding arrangements must be made with Fr. Kramer at 732-2234 or 732-7383.

Funeral Masses
Arrangements for the time and day of a Funeral Mass are usually worked out with the Funeral Home after which the parish is contacted. Visiting priests are always welcome to celebrate a Funeral Mass. 


St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) said:
"Be assured that he who shall always walk faithfully in God's presence,
always ready to give Him an account of all his actions,
shall never be separated from Him by consenting to sin."
