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 monthly Sacramental Preparation Classes (1st Monday of each month - 6:30-7:50pm), 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.
