    SACRAMENT PREPARATION
    Are you ready to receive Jesus?
    • FIRST RECONCILIATION (CONFESSION)

      Children spend three months learning about God's forgiving love and then make their first reconciliation.  


      Children must ...
       
      • be baptized
       
      • have completed at least one full year of Religious Education before beginning preparation for First Reconciliation (not required but STRONGLY encouraged).  Usually this is first grade.  If this is not the case with your child we have special classes for children in other grades.
       
      • be prepared for the sacrament by attending all the CCD classes and completing the home preparation activities.
       
      • attend the evening of reflection in October.


      Parents must …
       
      • attend the parent meeting in the fall.  See the CCD schedule for more details.
       
      • work with their child on the at home activities 
       
      • participate in the evening of reconciliation with their child.  Parents will have an opportunity to go to confession at that time also.
    • FIRST COMMUNION

      Children that have completed their preparation for receiving Christ in the Eucharist will make their First Communion in late Spring. 

      In order to prepare for this...

      Children must ...

      • be baptized.  If a child was not baptized at this parish, a copy of his/her baptismal certificate must be turned in to the Faith Formation office.
       
      • have made his/her first reconciliation.
       
      • have completed at least two full years of Religious Education - one year before the year of preparation and one year of sacramental preparation.  Usually this is in first and second grade.  If you child was not in first grade Religious Education, we have special classes for children in other grades.
       
      • be prepared for the sacrament by attending all Sacrament classes and completing the home activities with a parent.  Children missing more than two preparation classes must meet with the DRE to make sure they are ready for the sacrament.
       
      • participate in the evening of reflection and Communion retreat.


      Parents must …

      • attend the parent meeting in the spring.  See the Faith Formation schedule for more details.
       
      • work with their child on the at home activities. 
    • CONFIRMATION 

      The Sacrament of Confirmation is a Sacrament of Initiation (along with Baptism and the Eucharist). While it is the end of initiation, confirmation is never really meant to be an ending, but the start of something new.

      Click the buttons below to find the necessary forms and packets with all information regarding Confirmation on March 1, 2022.

      Please contact the Faith Formation Office 847.426.4712 with any questions.
