For children entering Second Grade or higher, we offer the preparation to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (Holy Communion) for the first time. Since our faith perpetually builds, families must be enrolled in our Family Formation class during their preparation year.
Families of children who are registered at the parish will be contacted and given Sacramental registration information at an orientation on October 2nd, immediately following the Family Formation session.
"Dear boys and girls, now you will receive Jesus. Don’t think about anything else. Come to the altar with silence in your hearts. Think about how Jesus comes to your heart, and how he will do the same again and again. Think of your parents, your catechists, your grandparents, your friends. And if you’ve had a fight with someone, forgive them from the heart. Draw close to Jesus...I hope that today is the beginning of many Communions, so that your hearts are always like they are today: celebrating, full of joy, and above all, full of gratitude." -- Pope Francis
