The Sacrament of Reconciliation is meant to be a celebration. In this Sacrament, the baptized are reconciled with God and with the Church. Through Reconciliation, Catholics share their need for forgiveness and their hope in God's compassion. The sacrament is available on Saturday at
3:30 pm or by appointment. Communal celebrations of Reconciliation are held at all Treasure Valley parishes during Advent and Lent. Check the
PARISH BULLETIN for the schedule.

The Sacrament of Annointing shows the concern the Lord has for the bodily and spiritual welfare of the sick. This Sacrament has its beginning with Christ and is spoken of in the Letter of James in the New Testament. The Church, by the Annointing of the Sick and the prayer of the Priest, entrusts those who are ill and suffering to the glorified Lord. Anyone who is sick, elderly, or preparing for medical treatment may request this Sacrament.

VOCATIONS

While the basic call to discipleship is addressed to all Christians, the Lord calls some in a particular way to a life of commitment of service. The life of a priest, deacon, sister or brother is not easy, but to spend one's life helping others to know and to love Jesus Christ is full of beautiful blessings. As members of the Body of Christ, the Church, we all are called to encourage and pray for vocations. Look around your community, parish, home, neighborhood, workplace and even into your heart. Is there someone you know who has the qualities to become a priest, deacon, sister or brother? The Church leaders of the 21st. century are among your acquaintances, family and friends. It could even be you! If you or someone you know needs information, please contact Fr.
MacMillan.
