St. Mary's Sacramental Preparation is a 2-year program. You must register for each year.
The 2-year program will help to ensure the child’s understanding and readiness for each of these amazing Sacraments.
St. Mary's expects that parishioners (households) be registered and actively participating in parish life as part of the preparation for receiving the Sacraments. A child must be a minimum of 7 years of age when they recieve these sacraments. Going to MASS weekly is the first REQUIREMENT.
SACRAMENTS of RECONCILIATION & EUCHARIST - Signs of Grace from Augustine Institute is the curriculum that we will be using
RECONCILIATION(1st Confession) - Signs of Grace: You are Forgiven
EUCHARIST(1st Communion) - Signs of Grace: You are Loved
Parent Program - As parents are the primary educators of the faith, we want to equip them with the knowledge they need to guide their children as they prepare for the Sacraments.
For 2022-23, parents will participate in monthly parent sessions and a monthly parent and student class. As well as a parent student day retreat in January for First Reconciliation and a parent student day in April for First Communion.
