SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
Celebrations of the Seven Sacraments are moments of grace for all of us as a parish community. When elementary age children are approaching the sacraments, it is likewise necessary that their parents accompany them through preparation. Parish policy requires a full year of regular instruction before a school age child can be enrolled for the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
