Sacrament of Marriage

Couples desiring to be married at St. Teresa of the Child Jesus Church should contact Father Joe at least one year in advance.

Sacrament of Baptism

Your baby’s baptism is a time for celebration and joy for both your family and for your faith community.  Baptisms are primarily scheduled for the last Sunday of the month, immediately following our 10:30 Mass.  Arrangements need to be made in advance, and we do ask parents and godparents to attend a baptism preparation class prior to their child’s baptism.  To schedule your child’s baptism, please call Liza Roach at the parish center for an appointment (401) 722-8650 or (401) 722-4470.

To arrange for a Baptism, please call the Rectory/parish office.

NOTES:

· All parents are asked to call in advance to arrange for a pre-baptism interview. Please be sure to complete a GREEN parish registration form.

· Baptism preparation class for parents and godparents (if in the area) takes place in the Church at 6:30 p.m. on the dates listed. Call in advance of meeting date to reserve a place.

· Baptisms for the most part will be celebrated on the last Sunday of the month, after the 10:30 Mass, unless other arrangements are requested.

· We try to limit the number of children being baptized on any given Sunday to six in order to maintain a sense of reverence and to give individual attention to each family.

Anointing of the Sick

If you require surgery or are seriously sick you may want to consider receiving the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick which has as its purpose the transmission of sacramental grace on the person experiencing the difficulties inherent with an illness or the need for immediate surgery so that they receive peace, strengthening and courage. If you desire to be anointed, please call the parish center or speak with Fr. Joe or Joan Munz after Mass

Holy Communion to the Sick and Shut-ins

We try to visit our elderly and sick parishioners whether in hospital or at home. We can no longer call a hospital to request the names of parishioners who are hospitalized. It is your responsibility to let us know if you desire a visit while you are hospitalized. Please call Joan Munz, (401) 722-4470, for more information.

Friendly Visitor Program

Friendly visitors are volunteers/ministers who enhance the lives of our isolated elders by visiting them each week in their homes. We have trained volunteers ready to visit our elderly or sick parishioners in their homes. For further information, please call Joan Munz (401) 722-4470.
