Preparations begin 9-12 months before your intended wedding date, therefore, you are encouraged to contact the Parish Office at 414-453-5344 as soon as possible. Through the Marriage Preparation process, you will work with the Priest and members of the parish to prepare you for your married life together.

Anointing of the Sick

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick emphasizes the Lord’s compassion during struggles against pain and illness.  It is a sacred moment when we pray for God’s grace to strengthen someone who is suffering from any form of illness.  Anyone who is facing a serious illness or operation is encouraged to request this Sacrament.  A person need not be in danger of dying. The Sacrament can be received more than once over the course of an illness, as a person’s health changes.

Please contact the Parish Office at 414-453-5344 to request this sacrament.
