First Communion
Children or adults needing First Communion go through our RCIC (Rite of Christian Initation for Children) or RCIA (Rite of Christian Initation for Adults). Please contact the directors for these programs.
Penance or Confession

Our confession schedule are M-F (7:45am - 8:00am) and Sat (3:30pm -4:30pm). You may also call the rectory to set up an appointment with the priest. 

In case of serious sins, we need to go to confession before receiving the Eucharist. Otherwise, the Eucharist itself has the power to heal and cleanse us of less serious sins. Regular confession every 1-2 months is a spiritually beneficial devotional practice for us.

Confirmation

Teens needing confirmation go through our 2 year confirmation preparation process. Please contact the director of our youth confirmation.

Adults needing confirmation also go through a preparation process. Please contact our director of RCIA Mrs. Myrna Zambrano at (909)629-1404

Matrimony

Couples planning to get married need to call our rectory office or wedding coordinators at least 6 months before their intended wedding date. No reception venue should be made before the Church requirements and availability have been settled.

The couple meets with the wedding coordinators 4-5 times during the 6 month period to talk about their marriage and take care of the necessary documentation. The priest who will preside at the wedding will meet with the couple at the very end of the preparation process. The donation is $600, $450.00 for contributing envelope-user parishioners. Non- parishioners would need a lettter from their parish granting permission to celebrate their wedding at St. Joseph.
