Visible Signs of God's Grace
According to City wide policy as established by the area pastors in 2015, all candidates for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation) are to be formed in their home parish. Since the Newman Center falls within the boundaries of St. Mary of the Visitation Parish, formation for those sacraments will be the parish’s responsibility.
