ANOINTING OF THE SICK
If you are going to be hospitalized, preparing for surgery or, ill at home and would like to celebrate the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, please call the Parish Office at 513-561-9431. The Sacrament is celebrated at the beginning of an illness; please do not wait until death is immanent.  We celebrate the sacrament after each Mass when there is a Fifth Sunday of the Month.  The Sacrament may be repeated as often as necessary, nor do its effects "wear off."   The Sacrament of Anointing the Sick can be celebrated in your home or at the Parish.

COMMUNION TO THE HOME-BOUND
Please call the office at 513-561-9431 about home-bound parishioners so they can be placed on our prayer, Home Communion, and visitation lists.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
Offered on Wednesdays  from 7-8 pm at the Church, or by appointment.  Also at St. Veronica each Saturday 2:30 - 3:30.

R.C.I.A.
The Rite of Christian Initiation is a process offered for non-Catholics who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith or are considering joining our church. This process includes reflection on your journey of faith and sessions on the teachings of our Church. Team members from our parish support those who are "inquiring" about the Catholic faith. If you are interested in becoming Catholic, would like to sponsor someone, or would like to become part of the R.C.I.A. Team, please contact our Pastoral Associate, Jim Crosby, at 513-561-9431, ext. 113. or email him at jimc@sjfchurch.org

BAPTISM
A team of parishioners help prepare parents for the Baptism of their child. Baptismal preparation sessions are offered 3-4 times a year and include the Church's teaching about Baptism, an explanation of the symbols of the sacrament, and some practical information for the day of Baptism. If you would like to know when the next scheduled preparation program is, or if you would like to join the Baptism team, please call the parish office.  Pre-Baptism instruction is required for active, registered parents who are having their first child Baptized.  For more information, or to register for an upcoming session, please contact our Pastoral Associate, Jim Crosby at 513-561-9431, ext. 113 or email him at jimc@sjfchurch.org

HOLY ORDERS and RELIGIOUS LIFE

Likewise, local religious orders provide opportunities for men and women who want to explore their call to religious life. People who are considering becoming a sister, brother, deacon, or priest (either Diocesan or Religious Order) are encouraged to talk with Fr. Del Staigers, Fr. Alex Biryomumeisho.
