Faith Formation for Children

Home / Faith Formation for Children

For all Sacraments, the family must be registered at the parish.

Baptism

Baptism is the first Sacrament of initiation into the Catholic faith and the basis of the whole Christian life. Through baptism we are reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, and we are invited to share in Jesus Christ’s mission on Earth.

Please complete the Baptism class registration form available as a pdf online and return in to the parish front office.

First Communion

Eucharist (Holy Communion) in the Catholic Church is a Sacrament and a Sacrifice and is the source and summit of our Christian life. We believe that the consecrated bread and wine are truly the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ as given to us through His Apostles at His Last Supper. This is truly the Sacrament of love, unity and remembrance.

Children must be registered for First Communion classes. The registration form is available as a pdf online during the months of July/August when registration takes place. There will be weekly classes and preparation is a two year process.

First Reconciliation

Reconciliation (confession) is the Sacrament of genuine and ongoing conversion and God’s gift of guaranteed forgiveness and mercy. Sin fractures our friendship with Jesus and with our brothers and sisters. Reconciliation grants us God’s forgiveness of our sins and restores our friendship with Him and with His Church.

Children must be registered for First Reconciliation classes. The registration form is available as a pdf online during the months of July/August when registration takes place. Note that First Reconciliation is part of the First Communion program.
