Preparation for these Sacraments begins at home, within the family,
and flow out of a natural response to birth and Baptism. As
our children grow in age and wisdom, so they also grow in faith and
grace.
Students who need to be baptized or make a Profession
of Faith in the Catholic Church are referred to RCIA/C, Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults adapted for Children.
Children are prepared for Reconciliation and Eucharist at
about the age of seven. Usually this means that children are
in (at least) second grade.
Older children who have yet to receive these sacraments are welcome
to begin their preparation in this schedule.
Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation takes
place in the fall with the celebration of the Sacrament in Advent.
Children then begin immediate preparation for their First
Communion after the first of the year. Celebration
of this sacrament is during the Easter season.
There is a $40 fee to cover the cost of textbooks and other materials.
Please remember that NO child will be denied due to inability to
pay the book/materials fee.
