1st Sacraments - RECONCILIATION & EUCHARIST

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. Going to MASS is the first REQUIREMENT.
In addition to Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation Classes , students wishing to recieve 1st Sacraments must also be enrolled in Regular Faith Formation, either as a family or in age-level classes* In-person or at-home options.
*Exceptions can be made for students who currently attend a Catholic school or that Homeschool with a Catholic faith component. 

1st SACRAMENTS - 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.
