Sacraments

Infant
Infant Baptism is celebrated by request during weekend Masses, except during the Lenten Season.

Parents who wish to have their child baptized are required to participate in a baptism class (unless they have participated in a baptism class at St. Joseph’s within the last two years).  Baptism classes are generally offered four times per year, and we encourage you to plan ahead. It is not necessary for the baby to be born prior to taking the class. In fact, many parents find it easier to take the class while expecting. Check the parish calendar to see when the next class is scheduled.  (Parents must be registered in the parish prior to baptism.)

Adult
Baptism for adults can be celebrated through our OCIA (Order of Christian for Adults). 

Please contact our parish office at 715-262-5310 for more information.

Reconciliation
Reconciliation is typically scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays (check the weekly bulletin for updated information) or by appointment (contact the parish office).

First Reconciliation is generally celebrated with students in the second grade.  A First Reconciliation curriculum is part of our Religious Education and school program.
