Sacramental Preparation
Baptism
Parents who wish to have a child
baptized must be registered parishioners for at least three months and participating
in the community life of the parish. They also attend a preparation class.
Baptisms are usually celebrated at Sunday liturgy. Please contact Lynn at
the parish office for information or scheduling - 381-6400.
First Eucharist / Reconciliation
Usually children celebrate
the sacraments of First Reconciliation (i.e., Confession) and First Communion
in second or third grade, although they are welcome to do so at higher grades.
We want to help our children appreciate and respect the sacraments of the
Church, and to understand how we are called as a sacramental people to follow
Jesus faithfully. Preparation classes take place on Sunday mornings during
the school year. Please contact Ann Boltz at the parish office for more information.
Confirmation
According to diocesan guidelines,
young people can be confirmed from the 7th grade on. Because of the small
numbers of young people in our parish, we usually join with another parish
or group of parishes for certain aspects of the preparation process, and for
the actual celebration of the sacrament. Older students or adults needing
Confirmation are encouraged to participate in the RCIA
program. Please contact Ann Boltz at the parish office for more information.
