| Baptism
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God, a new birth into the life of Jesus Christ.

Reconciliation
The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance) is the church's celebration of God's unconditional forgiveness. God forgives sins whenever a person is sorry for their actions. Confession is a part of the community process of bringing the repentant sinner back into the full life of the church community.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation at Our Lady of Lourdes is celebrated every Saturday at 4:30 p.m, as well as by individual appointment with a priest.
