The rite of reconciliation, often called "confession" is the sacrament in which Christ forgives our sins and reconciles us to our fellow Christians. Its sign or ceremony is the sinner's showing his sorrow by acknowledging his sins and the priest's words of forgiveness and reconciliation in Christ's name. The Rite of Reconciliation can be celebrated any time, please call the church office for an appointment or refer to the weekly bulletin for a scheduled time.

Students receive their First Reconciliation in the First Semester of their second grade Faith Formation year.

Christ's presence among us in the Eucharist (Holy Communion) has always been a key teaching of the Catholic faith. It has been the constant teaching of the Church from the beginning; the clear belief found in early Christian documents is overwhelming. Through bread and wine Christ becomes present in the Eucharistic celebration; somehow Christ himself is now truly present under this form of food as St. Paul says succinctly. (1 Corinthians 11, 27-30)

Students receive their First Eucharist in the Spring semester of their second grade Faith Formation year.

Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism and strengthens us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Through this sacrament, we are more deeply united with Christ and His Church and are strengthened to witness to our Catholic faith in our daily lives.

At St. Michael the Archangel, students prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation through our parish faith formation program. In accordance with the Diocese of Wichita, Confirmation is celebrated every other year for students in 6th and 7th grade.

Adults who have been baptized Catholic but have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation are encouraged to complete their initiation into the Church. Adult Confirmation is typically celebrated when the Bishop visits the parish or at the Easter Vigil.

For more information about Confirmation or to begin the preparation process, please contact the Parish Office at 316-777-4221 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Men become priests today as always -- by the sacrament of holy orders -- the laying on of the bishop's hands and prayer. Through this sacrament Christ changes the man internally, giving him the powers of the priesthood. There are different orders or degrees in the priesthood: a deacon, a priest, and a bishop. Priests and bishops are not married, although there are some priests who are ministers from another faith tradition who join the Catholic Church and want to serve as a priest. If you have any questions or interested in the priesthood please call the Church Office.

In the sacrament of the anointing of the sick, Christ uses the anointing and prayers of the priest to give comfort and strength to the soul and to the body of one seriously ill. We meet Christ here to receive his healing comfort, strength, and pardon. Anyone who is seriously ill, mentally or physically, may take part in it -- or a condition which is so serious as to demand surgery with a general anesthetic or even one who is weak from old age. Don't be afraid to call for the Pastor to minister this sacrament at every serious change in your condition.

In an emergency or serious illness, if sick and confined to a home, entering a hospital or local nursing home, please notify the office.
