A Note from Fr. Quealy Very often people come to the rectory seeking a sponsor certificate either for the Sacrament of Baptism (Godmother/Godfather), Confirmation or to be a witness at a Catholic marriage ceremony (Maid of Honor/Best Man). Please Note: You need to ask the parish in which you are registered and participate as a Catholic for the sponsor certificate. Being a sponsor means that you are a WITNESS to the CATHOLIC faith in your daily life. Here are some points you need to know about being a sponsor: -You must have received the Sacrament of

Confirmation. -You must be a registered member of a parish. -Being a WITNESS to the faith, you must attend

Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation

(confession) often throughout the year. -You must be a person of good standing with the

Catholic Church (for example, if you are married you have received the Catholic Sacrament of Matrimony.

I hope this information is helpful. God Bless, Fr. Quealy

In the event of a medical emergency PLEASE NOTE: an automated external defibrillator (AED) is located in the vestibule between the church and rectory office on the wall in a red case. “An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly. AEDs make it possible for more people to respond to a medical emergency where defibrillation is required. Because AEDs are portable, they can be used by non-medical people (lay rescuers). AEDs can be made part of emergency response programs that also include rapid use of 9-1-1 and prompt delivery of cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). All 3 of these activities are vital to improving survival from SCA. A built-in computer checks a victim’s heart rhythm through adhesive electrodes. The computer calculates whether defibrillation is needed. If it is, a recorded voice prompts the rescuer to press the shock button on the AED. This shock momentarily stuns the heart and stops all activity. It gives the heart a chance to resume beating effectively. Audible prompts guide the user through the process. Although formal training in the use of an AED is not required, it is recommended to help the rescuer increase their comfort and level of confidence. However, AEDs are intended for use by the general public. Most AEDs* use audible voice prompts to guide the user through the process. AEDs are safe to use by anyone. Some studies have shown that 90% of the times AEDs are able to detect a rhythm that should be defibrillated. This data suggests that AEDs are highly effective in detecting when (or when not) to deliver a shock.”

-American Heart Association *The AED in our church vestibule by the rectory office has audible voice prompts.
