What Are The Sacraments? The word
"sacrament" derives from the Latin and means, literally,
"something holy." For Christians, a sacrament is an outward sign
of the presence of God, also referred to as "grace." |

The
sacrament of baptism
The
Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of
commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or
adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the
embrace of God.
Baptism will take place on the 4th Sunday of the month at 2:00
pm. Parents must register at
the Parish Office. An Instructional Class for parents is
held on the 3rd Monday of the month at 7:30 pm in the Church. Parents must be registered members of St. Pancras
Parish and present the child's birth certificate to register for
Baptism.

The
sacrament of Holy
Communion or Eucharist
See mass schedule
here
Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion,
is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who
died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished
spiritually and brought closer to God.

The
sacrament of
reconciliation
3:30 - 4:30 pm Saturdays. Other
times by appointment
The Sacrament of 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.

The

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.

Confirmation Mass
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2009

Bishop Nicholas Di Marzio came
to Saint Pancras to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation.
He anointed 57 young members of our Parish Community who had
spent over a year in preparation.
How did the Students
prepare?
They learned about their faith
in classes, doing homework and special assignments.
They spent at least 20 hours performing Acts of Community
Service.
They worked on a special project researching their chosen
Saints name and writing about their choice of Sponsor.
They spent a Saturday in Retreat in Immediate Preparation to
receive this important Sacrament.
A BIG Thank You
to all
our parents, relatives and guests who added to the dignity
of the Sacrament through their exemplary participation.
Our sincere Thanks to
Deacon Maloney, Principal Phillip Ciani, DRE Margaret Walter, our teachers, altar servers,
ushers, volunteers who cleaned the Church before and after,
Michael Falce & Kevin Freile for their music and our
priests: Monsignor Wielunski and Father Klocek.
Let us all pray that our newly
Confirmed will assume active, responsible roles in their
parish.
