Confirmation Preparation

Confirmation preparation begins in the Winter of seventh grade. The Sacrament of Confirmation takes place in the Fall of a student’s freshman year in high school. It is the purpose of this ministry to prepare young adults to seal the faith commitment made at Baptism.

First Penance Preparation

This ministry prepares children for the Sacrament of Penance well before First Eucharist. The parents of the children attend one meeting approximately ten weeks beforehand, and receive materials and instructions preparing their child for the Sacrament. Additional instruction is given in Religious Education.

RCIA

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process through which those seeking to fully join the Catholic Church are welcomed. This process includes those who have never been baptized, baptized in other Christian faiths, and baptized Catholics who have not received First Eucharist or Confirmation. It is a journey of Faith. In the company of a sponsor from the parish community, and through experiences of faith sharing, prayer, instruction and celebration, inquirers then enter into the sacramental life of the church at the Easter Vigil.

We welcome any parishioner who wishes to serve as a team member, sponsor a catechist or to be a hospitality person.
