Sacrament Preparation
-
Sacrament Preparation for 1st Reconciliation and 1st Holy Communion is a 2-year journey for baptized children between 1st-11th grade. Our goal during these two years of preparation is to assist families in teaching the importance of each Sacrament and how it applies to our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Year 1 (Year of Inquiry): This first year consists of regular Faith Formation classes and allows students to build a foundation of faith formation.
Year 2: During students’ second year of Sacrament Preparation, they will attend monthly preparation meetings with families in addition to regular Faith Formation classes. By the end of the year, students will receive their 1st Reconciliation and 1st Holy Eucharist!
-
Year 1 of Sacrament Preparation: Regular Faith Formation classes
Year 2 of Sacrament Preparation: Preparation meetings are on the first Sunday of the month and run from October-April.
