First Reconciliation and Holy Communion
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
- John 2:21-23
- Luke 22:19-22
Reconciliation
“Confession is an act of honesty and courage – an act entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God.” – St. John Paul II
Tuesday and Thursday 9:45am – 10:30am
Saturday 3:30 pm – 4:50 pm
Or by appointment
Confirmation
Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
– Acts 8:14-17
Marriage
“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
– Matthew 19:6
The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives the spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life.
Engaged couples are asked to contact the parish to begin the preparation process.
A minimum of four to six months notice is required to allow time for marriage preparation courses and for planning the wedding liturgy.

Anointing of the Sick
“Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” – James 5: 14-15
Families are encouraged to contact the parish office as early as possible on behalf of those who are ill, so that we can minister to our sick during their time of illness. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick may also be celebrated more than once with those who are seriously ill.
Should a loved one be close to their final hours, please give them the grace of receiving their ‘Last Rites’.
If you require further information, please contact parish@stpatrickcalgary.com
Holy Orders
The primary purpose of the Vocations office is to assist individuals who are discerning their personal vocation and state in life. This involves helping men in their preliminary and ongoing discernment of a vocation to the diocesan priesthood, as well as to assist men and women in their initial discernment of the call to the consecrated life.
To find more information on the vocatioin to the priesthood, please fill in the form below or contact Fr. Cristino Bouvette at 403-228-4170 ext. 228, or email cristino.bouvette@calgarydiocese.ca
