Baptism of a child or adult in the Catholic faith is a special event. Parents of the child preparing for baptism (or adult) are required to attend a Baptism class. Classes are held quarterly. Please contact the office to see when the next class will be held.
The Diocese of Fargo now allows for the sacraments of Eucharist (Communion) and Confirmation for students in third grade. Students prepare for these sacraments during their CCD classes, parent/child classes and a retreat. The Eucharist and Confirmation Mass is typically held in the spring and rotates between Sacred Heart in Carrington and St. John's in New Rockford. Students at St. Elizabeth's in Sykeston will also participate in these sacraments as part of the Sacred Heart CCD program.
Please contact the office to meet with Father Dodge and schedule your upcoming marriage. Marriage classes, Natural Family Planning classes, Sponsoring Couple meetings and a retreat are all part of marriage preparation. If you were married outside of the Catholic Church and wish to have your marriage convalidated (blessed/recognized by the Catholic Church), please contact the office to speak with Father Dodge.
