Sacramental Prep

Sacramental Preparation

FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST EUCHARIST

Preparing to receive the Sacrament of First Reconciliation and the Sacrament of First Eucharist is an exciting time in a child’s life! Our preparation program is designed for students in second grade and older. It is a journey in faith for the children and their parent. Children registering for Sacramental Prep must have participated in at least one full year of Faith Formation prior to entering the program and must be attending Faith Formation regularly.

First Reconciliation - Formal preparation for First Reconciliation begins in the Fall. Our program consists of two workshops that both parent and candidate must attend and a workbook to be completed at home by the candidate with parental support. The children celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation on a Saturday morning.

First Eucharist - Formal preparation for First Eucharist begins in early Spring. Our program consists of two workshops that both parent and candidate must attend and a workbook to be completed at home by the candidate with parental support. The Sacrament of First Eucharist is celebrated with our parish community during a regularly scheduled Mass time on a Sunday in the Spring.

Sacramental Prep 2022/2023 – Parent meetings are scheduled for First Eucharist in January 2023. For more information on Sacramental Prep 2023 email Letty Mason at lmason@stanchurch.com.


CONFIRMATION

Confirmation- teens are invited to begin preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the 9th grade. They need to be actively involved in religious education one year prior to beginning preparation. This program provides teens with an opportunity to deepen their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to serve Him in the Church and in the community. Preparation consists of large/small group catechesis, fellowship, choosing/meeting with a sponsor, participating in a retreat, and an interview with a parish priest.

As one of the Sacraments of Initiation, Confirmation completes the Sacrament of Baptism. A special outpouring of the Gift of the Holy Spirit equips us as Catholics for active participation in worship and in life of the Church. Teens are invited to begin preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the 9th grade. Candidates need to be actively involved in religious education one year prior to beginning preparation.

Our Confirmation Preparation program begins in January 2023. The Sacrament of Confirmation will be received in November 2023.  Confirmation registration has begun for the upcoming year.
