Sacraments & Pastoral Care
How to attend Mass, become Catholic, and arrange the sacraments of the Church.
Everyone is welcome at Mass. Check parish pages for Sunday times; arrive ten minutes early on a first visit and the greeters will help you.
Every parish runs an RCIA class, usually starting in September and leading to baptism at Easter. Contact your nearest parish office or leave your details with the form on this page.
Register with your parish around the time of birth; parents and godparents attend a short preparation [parish details TBC].
The Archdiocese celebrates a joint Confirmation each year (23 May in 2026); parishes collect registrations.
Contact the parish at least six months before the wedding for preparation and paperwork [TBC].
Most parishes hear confessions around Mass times or by appointment; communal services are held in Lent.
Call your parish priest at any time for the sick; hospital chapel contacts are on the organizations page.
Contact the deceased's parish first; the archdiocesan bedside-prayer teams can assist at vigils [contact TBC].
Away for years and thinking of coming back? Just come to Mass, or talk with any parish priest — no conditions.
The Archdiocese celebrates weekly Masses in eight languages, and its New Immigrants Pastoral Commission accompanies migrant and international Catholics. St. Christopher's (Zhongshan N. Rd.) serves as a hub for English, Tagalog and Vietnamese communities.
