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.
Baptism at St. Robert's is celebrated regularly at Sunday Eucharist. Mandatory parent
preparation sessions are held at church every other month. Please
contact the Parish Office four months in advance of the intended Baptism date.
First Eucharist is
celebrated each year during the Easter season. For more information
about Sacramental Preparation at St. Robert's, please contact Amanda
Roberts in the Parish Office at 978.683.8922 or
amroberts@comcast.net.
Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian
commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and
Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament
of faith in God's fidelity to us.
Reconciliation is available on
Wednesdays at 5:10 pm, or by appointment.
The Catholic sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly
known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing
appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual
sickness.
Please contact the
Parish Office when a parishioner is seriously ill or goes into the
hospital. Staff and Communion Ministers bring communion to those who
are infirm. The Sacrament of the Sick is celebrated communally in the
spring and the fall.
Please contact the Parish
Office to inquire about funeral arrangements at St. Robert's.
