At Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Fullerton, we offer a range of sacraments that mark significant milestones in one's faith journey. Each sacrament has its own unique meaning and purpose, ensuring a vibrant and flourishing spiritual life for our members.

At New Community Rising Church, we celebrate Baptism as a joyous occasion, uniting families and the community in prayer and support for the newly baptized.
