Baptisms
Please see the “How to Baptize my Child” page for steps on how to plan your child’s baptism.
First Holy Communion
Preparation to receive First Holy Communion is available to all baptized children, 2nd grade and above, after attending the regular Religious Education classes 1 year prior to receiving the sacrament. During their preparation students also receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. Our parish children receive their First Holy Communion in the spring after Religious Education classes have ended.
Confirmation
Preparation to receive Confirmation is available to all baptized children, grades 8-10, after attending the regular Religious Education classes for 1 year prior to receiving the sacrament. During their preparation students are required to fill volunteer and spiritual life hour requirements, find a suitable sponsor to guide them, and select a Saint Name to be confirmed under. The candidates are then confirmed by our Bishop in the spring after the Lenten Season is over.
