The Sacraments at Annunziata

Anointing

In 1973, Pope Paul VI wrote a Pastoral Letter giving us a much broader understanding for the reception of the Sacrament. This Sacrament is most important when we are dying, but, this sacrament is also most important when someone is having surgery or recovering from it, when one is depressed or grief stricken, struggling with addictions of any kind, for the elderly, and when being treated for serious illnesses.

To receive the Sacrament of Anointing please call the Office at (314) 993-4422.  If needing the Sacrament of the Anointing on weekends, evenings or holidays, please contact Msgr. Leykam at 314-993-4422 , ext 211 or Msgr. Shamleffer at 314-606-4181.

Baptism

Please call one of the Priests for the Sacrament of Baptism. Our Church encourages Baptism for infants just as soon as the Pediatrician allows them out of the house. Baptism is usually celebrated at 12:15 p.m. (after the Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass), but due to personal family circumstances, another time may be arranged.

Please call the Office at (314) 993-4422 to make arrangements for Baptism.  

Marriage

The Archdiocese of St. Louis requires a minimum of six months to prepare for your Sacrament of Marriage. Because of the number of requests for weddings at Annunziata, we are able to have only registered, active members of the parish and their children married here. Please contact the Office at (314) 993-4422 to make arrangements.

The Sacrament of God’s Loving Mercy and Forgiveness is offered on Saturdays from 3:30 - 4:45 p.m. In addition, we offer the Sacrament on the last Sunday of the month after all the Masses, and after all Sunday Masses during Advent and Lent. In addition, your priests are available at other times by calling them personally at the Rectory, (314) 993-4422.

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of God’s Loving Mercy and Forgiveness is offered on Saturdays from 3:30 - 4:45 p.m. In addition, we offer the Sacrament on the last Sunday of the month after all the Masses.
