Sacrament Preparation

YOUTH SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION

 

Sacrament prep aims to help families explore the life-changing identity and vocation tied to the graces of the sacraments. We draw our attention toward a life of union with Christ and how to live as His witnesses. As the stepping stones on the path of lifelong discipleship, sacraments are not an end, but a beginning!

 

Sacrament prep for youth requires two consecutive years of religious education in a Catholic school or a parish faith formation program, plus an additional sacrament prep program concurrent with the second year of formation.

 

Registration

Registration is due no later than Monday, Oct. 10, 2022 for the 2022-2023 program year.

 

To register, fill out the digital form by clicking here. If you have already completed the form for faith formation or youth ministry, you do not need to complete it again. If you need a printable copy, please call or visit the parish office.
