Sacramental Preparation
First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
We invite you and your child to prepare with us during the coming months for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
This year we will use a process for preparing your child called Growing Up Catholic - available for two age groups (7-9, 10-14). In this process, YOU become the actual teacher of your child, but we guide you through every step. This is a memorable time of your child’s life – and the memories you make during this preparation period will be cherished for a long time. |
We know that households and families take many shapes today. Therefore,
Please register by clicking the button below and feel free to start using the Growing Up Catholic website immediately. The work you do with your child is so vital to his or her faith! And you’ll find that your own faith is enriched by this process as well.
- If you are a single parent, we invite you and your child to attend together.
- If you’re a married couple, we invite both of you and your child to attend together.
- If one of you is not Catholic, we invite you both nonetheless!
- If you are Catholic but have not been active in parish life yourself lately, we welcome you!
- If you are living in a separated or divorced situation, we invite you to decide whether both parents can be involved. One of the ways you might consider doing this is to connect the absent parent by way of the Growing Up Catholic website which supports the process.
- If there is another significant person involved in the raising of your child whom you feel would benefit your child to be involved, he or she is also welcome!
