If you or a family member is interested in
receiving a sacrament, please contact the person listed below for more
information. Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Parish celebrates the
sacraments to show our willingness to be a part of the ministry of Jesus
Christ who calls us to be sons and daughters of God. The sacraments help
remind us that God is always with us. Baptism First Reconciliation First Eucharist
The Baptism of a child into the Catholic community is a beautiful gift
of initiation and rebirth. A parent requests the sacrament of
Baptism which provides the child with a gateway to the other sacraments.
Contact the pastor to schedule a class for the immediate preparation for
baptism and to schedule a date for the reception of the sacrament. Fr. Bob Marsicek, S.D.S., (414) 442-7600, ext. 103
