St. Timothy Sacraments

Baptism

Baptisms are normally held on the first and third (English/Tongan) second and fourth (Spanish) Sundays of each month at 1:30 pm in the church. A baptismal preparation class in English (one session) for Parents and Godparents is held every Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, spanish classes are Friday before 2nd and 21st Sunday in the Parish Office. Preparation must be completed before a date for baptism can be set. Please call the parish priests to make arrangements at (650) 342-2468 at least three months in advance.

Parents and Godparents must attend baptismal instruction before the baptism of their child. This preparation may be done before the birth of the child.

	First Reconciliation / Penance
	The Sacrament of Reconciliation is normally offered on Saturday afternoons from 3:30-4:30. If you wish to receive this sacrament at another time please call the Parish Center at (650) 342-2468 to make an appointment. Reconciliation services are also held during Advent and Lent. Check our parish bulletin during these seasons for more information.

Adult Confirmation

There are two ways to receive Confirmation as an adult at our Parish.

1. If you have been away from the church for a while and have questions about your faith, the best option is the RCIA process which meets every Wednesday, 7:00 pm in the Parish Office from October through May. Confirmation and First Eucharist are received at St. Timothy during the Easter Vigil. You can get information and download a registration form (HERE). You can get more information from our Parish Office at (650) 342-2468 or email our staff members.

2. A second option for active Catholics who have not been confirmed is a program we offer during Lent every other year. It involves 8-10 hours of instruction in the parish, and an interview with a priest. Confirmation is conferred by the bishop or archbishop or his representative at St. Timothy on the same day the teenagers are confirmed. You can get more information from our Parish Office at (650) 342-2468 or email our staff members.

For Youth Confirmation contact Mr. Kohl Glau at (650)570-0901.

First Communion

First Communion is a two year process at St. Timothy. The earliest a child can receive the sacrament is in second grade. Usually, the first year of the program is spent in general class with other students at the same grade level. The second year is a class with other students who are specifically preparing for first communion.
