SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
BAPTISM
The program Christian Initiation of Older Children is designed for a parent to help an unbaptized child of catechetical age become a full member of the church. Worksheets are mailed periodically to their assigned catechist.
FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST EUCHARIST
Program Two, “ Jesus Shares God’s Life”, is required. In addition, if your child has had little or no previous instruction we recommend Program One first. The Kindergarten Program is optional.
Our Catholic Faith is a review of the faith and also a good preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist for junior grade students.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmed in the Spirit is a challenging but excellent program. It is recommended that, prior to the year of preparation for Confirmation, students will have completed Program Four, the Commandments, as well as Program Five, the Sacraments.
PARISH PREPARATION
Many pastors have immediate preparation classes in the parish. Please inquire if and when these sessions will take place and plan to attend them.
