First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
Children wishing to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (which typically occurs in 2nd grade) should be enrolled in our Christian formation program. If the child attends a Catholic School, participates in our FIRE program, and/or appropriate home school course loads, attendance through the parish for Sacrament specific study is also required (contact us to discuss). There is a $30 fee for Sacramental preparation materials.
Parent’s Part:
*Participation in Adult Faith Formation opportunities, to grow in faith, alongside the journey(s) of their child(ren), offered by the parish and/or diocese.
*Attendance at formative meetings on each sacrament prior to each celebration, facilitated by Father Chris & Monsignor Keeney. Meeting 1 “Theology of the Sacrament of Reconciliation”. Meeting 2 “Spirituality of the Sacrament of Reconciliation”. Meeting 3 “Theology of the Sacrament of the Eucharist”. Meeting 4 “Spirituality of the Sacrament of the Eucharist”.
