Initiation into the Church by water

and/or candidates must attend pre-baptismal instruction class. |

Young Persons' Communion Celebration

Prince of Peace does not have a 'first communion
ritual.' All who are baptized are welcome to eat at the Lord's table. During the Easter Season, our Kindergarten
through Second Grade classes have a special six-week unit on the meaning of communion.
They then join the congregation for a special celebration of communion during the Easter Season. |

Confirmation

| This sacrament is most appropriate for those who
were baptized as infants or who have rejoined the church after a prolonged absence. It is celebrated
regionally in the Los Angeles Diocese during the Easter Season. Confirmation instruction is given during
the Lenten season. |

| The blessing by God of the union between a man and
a woman in heart, body, and mind is preceded by premarital counseling. Advance notice of at least three months

| The sacrament of laying on of hands and anointing
with oil those who are sick is a normal practice by the clergy visiting those who are ill or in hospital. |

Burial Office

the church as a message of hope to the bereaved and a time for members of the Church to affirm eternal life
in Jesus. |
