Sacrament of Baptism In order to have your child baptized you must be a registered and practicing member of Most Holy Redeemer for at least 3 months. You will need to make an appointment with one of the priests before attending the required baptismal class.

Sacrament of Marriage Those who are interested in being married must come and introduce themselves to the priest to set a date and time for their marriage. Please call the office for an appointment. The Diocese of St. Petersburg requires a 6 month preparation period.

Anointing of the Sick This Sacrament of healing is down communally twice a year. Between those times if you are in the need of the Sacrament please see one of the priest friars after Mass or call and make an appointment, especially before going to the hospital.

The Seven Sacraments

After the family, the Parish is the focal community of Catholic Life. It is the place that the first incorporation into the Body of Christ is sacramentalized: that the key events of life, union, death and resurrection are celebrated. There are other proposed alternatives and substructures, yet the parish remains the central reality in the lives of most Catholics. In short, the parish is the local community, to which the parish and diocese collaboratively must give its full and undivided attention to fulfilling their common purpose: to continue the Mission of Christ.

It is from the parish that the Proclamation of the Gospel goes forth. “The parish exists not for itself, but for the Mission of Christ. And so people are called forth to minister to one another in the parish community, as well as to those around them where they live and work.” (NCCB)
