Vision

The vision is to provide sacramental preparation in an environment that encourages family involvement.

Who can attend?

  • Any Catholic family, English or Spanish speaking with children who need First Communion, Confirmation, or both.
  • Any individual (baptized Catholic) under the age of 18 who needs First Communion, Confirmation, or both.
  • Any adult (baptized Catholic) who needs First Communion, Confirmation, or both.
  • Any family or individual who does not fit the above criteria but wishes to participate in religious education. 
  • Note:  If a child is under the age of 18 at least one parent needs to attend this program also.

What is being taught?

Appropriate classes would be taught to meet the First Communion and Confirmation preparation for appropriate age groups.  Additionally, parents would be taught how to create a home where their children are learning the faith from them and their example.  Spanish speaking classes would also be provided.

When are we meeting?

Tuesday evenings for two hours.
