Sacraments
Christ Sun of Justice, as a “personal parish,” exists to serve a particular group of persons: the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of RPI (Canon 518). We provide the pastoral care and sacraments expected of Catholic parishes.
Baptism
We are delighted to baptize infants and children. Except in emergencies, parents and godparents will need to meet with the chaplain to prepare for baptisms. Adults who are interested in being baptized or joining the Catholic church from another Christian tradition should speak to the chaplain regarding the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation details will be available soon.
Eucharist
