Sacraments

The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments (CCC 1113).Baptismal Font

While we believe that human life is infused with the sacramental goodness of God, the Catholic Church has defined seven sacraments – instituted by and through the life of Jesus Christ. It is through the experience of the sacramental ritual that we are infused with God’s grace. The sacraments nourish and strengthen us as they express and build up our faith.

Baptism:  All Baptism inquiries must go through the Parish Office. Please contact Jessica Montgomery at (415) 751-5275 or email parishoffice@stmonicasf.org to begin the process with our parish priest.

Confession:  St. Monica Church: 4:00pm Saturday or by appointment. St. Thomas the Apostle Church: by appointment.
