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 is due no later than October 13th, 2023 for the 2023-2024 program year.
