Reconciliation
Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others.

Confirmation
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.

Marriage
Your wedding day, while most important, is not the totality of your wedded life. It is the whole of your life together in which the church is interested. The church wishes to assist you in preparing for your marriage. It asks for your generosity and seriousness in accepting the Church's assistance. The Church asks every couple wishing to enter into such a great vocation and way of life to see marriage preparation, not as a luxury, or as something you have to do in order to get married at St. Cletus, but as something which is important, valuable, and necessary for your future happiness.

In general, the sacrament of marriage in St. Cletus Church is for members of our Faith Community. It is expected that Catholics preparing for marriage be active, participating members of the Faith Community.

For all the answers to your questions concerning this special day, please contact Diane Andrews at 708-246-6175.

Holy Orders
The Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.

Anointing of the Sick
The 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.
