Welcome to our church family!
We're so glad you're here.
All parents that have a child receiving First Reconciliation and First Eucharist during the 2020-2021 CCE year must attend a Sacrament Information Meeting.
Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 7:00pm in the Church
This meeting is for PARENTS ONLY
(due to social distancing only one parent is required to come)
The children are NOT REQUIRED to be there.
Archdiocesan policy states that the preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation shall occur before the reception of First Eucharist. This preparation is primarily the responsibility of the parents. Our program for the preparation and reception for the Sacrament of Reconciliation is aimed at involving the parents and children in a concrete experience that can help each grow in their Catholic Faith.
The child’s readiness for the celebration of the sacrament is to be determined by the child, the parent, and the pastor or his delegate.
A child’s readiness for the celebration of the sacrament is to be judged using the criteria such as:
The current COVID pandemic continues to have our
"normal" world into unknown status.
In keeping everyone safe, it will be necessary to prepare the children
a little different than in the past
Have not been Baptised?
Those who have not been baptised will receive their sacraments through the Right of Christian Initiation (RCIA) program. Parents need to contact the religious education office for more information.
