Sacraments


Please select the sacrament you are interested in:

Adults - If you are an adult who would like to become Catholic or who never completed their sacraments and would now like to do so, please called the Religious Education office at (310) 515-6033.

Certificates - If you have received a sacrament at St. Catherine Laboure in the past and need a certificate, please call or come into the parish office. We can only provide certificates for sacraments that were received at Saint Catherine Laboure Church. For instance, if you were baptized here and Confirmed at another church we can give you a copy of your baptismal certificate but you will have to contact the other parish for your Confirmation certificate. If you are in need of a sacramental certificate but you don't remember where you received the sacrament, we suggest you take a look at the Archdiocesan page about finding sacramental records.

Anointing of the Sick
If you would like to receive the Anointing of the Sick or request it for someone else please call us at (310) 323-8900.

If you are in need of a Eucharistic Minister to bring Communion to you or someone you know who is homebound, please contact Donald Chaney at (310) 324 4638.

    The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has as its effects:
    • the uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for their own good and that of the whole church;
    • the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness of old age;
    • the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance;
    • the restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of their soul;
    • the preparation for passing over to eternal life.
    • 1532 Catechism of the Catholic Church

    The Anointing of the Sick is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived. If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person's condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced. 1514-1515 Catechism of the Catholic Church
