May God bless you as you begin the process to form your children for a lifetime of celebrating God's forgiveness and being nourished at the table of the Lord. This time marks a significant moment in your child's spiritual development, and presents unique opportunities for both you and your child to grow in faith together, to deepen your relationship with God and with one another.
Our sacramental preparation blends intergenerational and whole community catechesis (religious education). The process includes the family sessions (parents/grandparents or guardians), and the whole parish during rites for the children and the celebration of the sacraments during regular parish liturgies.
Sacramental Formation begins in the First Grade to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in the Second Grade. The diocese asks for two years of faith formation in order to celebrate First Eucharist as a child. -

1st Eucharist Discernment ConversationsClick Here to sign up.
Attention: parents of 1st Eucharist children/teens receiving the Sacrament on April 14th! Please sign up your child for one of the three discernment days and one of the time slots. There will be 4 or 5 slots per 10-minute time slot. These discernment conversations allow us to meet with your child who can share thoughts and feelings about the Sacrament and faith. In that way, we will be able to discern if a child is ready to receive the Sacrament or needs more formation first. Thank you, too, for your help in forming your child for the Sacrament.
