Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation
First Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. in Watonga at St. Rose of Lima Parish and remaining Tuesdays at 5:30 in Kingfisher or by appointment with the Priest. Communal Penance Services may be scheduled during Lent and Advent.
According to the Church’s command, “after having attained the age of discretion each of the faithful is bound by an obligation faithfully to confess serious sins at least once a year.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1457
Sacrament of Baptism
Because the Church requires preparation for all Sacraments, baptismal classes (seminars) are held on a periodic basis. Contact the pastor to discuss the baptism of your infant children and make arrangements to attend the next seminar. Seminar dates are published in the bulletin. Baptism of older children and adults are coordinated through the parish program of religious formation. Contact the pastor and the Director of Religious Education.
Sacrament of Marriage
There is a six-month preparation program required by the Church. Please contact the pastor as soon as you are engaged, and prior to setting any date for a marriage. Freedom to marry must be determined before dates can be established for the Sacrament of Marriage.
Adult Education – Joining the Catholic Church?
Those interested in joining the Catholic Church – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is held during the year, contact the pastor or the Director of Religious Education for more information.
