comfort packets
Our Marian ministry provides a comfort packet to your family at the time you visit the rectory to make funeral arrangements. Along with these keepsakes and devotionals we offer our prayerful support. As a reminder, you can call upon us to lead a rosary or chaplet at calling hours at the funeral home, or prior to the Mass of Christian Burial.
baptism visits
We would love to stop by and welcome your little one into the Church. Gift packages include artwork for the nursery, prayer cards, a rosary, and more.
SACRAMENTAL SEND-HOMES
SACRAMENTAL SEND-HOMES
Each month, we send home a sacramental for your
family to incorporate into your daily life. Our Faith is rich with time-honored tradition; many long-held devotions, Marian and otherwise, have disappeared. We seek to revive them and to enrich your lives by sharing our discoveries.
parish traveling pilgrim virgin statue
Our Mother's Hands, invites St. Sebastian's parishioners to receive a visit of the Our Lady of Fatima statue to your home.

The Vocations Crucifix program, at both St. Sebastian and St. Paul Parishes, is a wonderful means of fostering prayer and devotion among our parish families. The Crucifix reminds each host family that they share in the responsibility to pray for and encourage vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life.
The purpose of the Vocations Crucifix is to provide a focal point for prayer. Every vocation is a call to deeper holiness and springs from the redemptive act of Jesus Christ.
The vocations are right here among us in our families…in the young people in the pews of our parish. Pray for their faithful response to Him as He invites them to follow and love Him in these holy vocations. (Excerpts from the USCCB)
