Sacramental Preparation and Celebration

Students prepare for their First Reconciliation (Confession) prior to receiving First Eucharist (Communion) and Confirmation when they turn 7 (the age of reasoning). Students are required to complete two years in religious education classes before they are prepared for these sacraments. We offer Sacrament Prep 1 and Sacrament Prep 2 on Mondays from 4:15-5:30pm.

Please note that the Bishop's Office, in consultation with the Pastor, determines the date and time of the First Communion/Confirmation Mass for our parish.
 

Christian Initiation for Children

If your older child is in need of Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation and/or First Eucharist (Communion), please contact the director of religious education at the parish office or the parish priest. If your child attends St. Thomas School, please contact the school office. Christian initiation adapted for children enables children in third grade and higher, who have not completed any of the following sacraments: Baptism, Confession/Reconciliation, Confirmation or First Eucharist (Communion) to enter into a relationship with the living God and share in the life of their identity as Christians. Please contact the parish office for more information or to register your child.
