FIRST EUCHARIST
First Eucharist preparation begins in the First Sacraments. One must make their First Reconciliation before entering the First Eucharist preparation program. A child is eligible to be in the First Sacraments Program if they are at least in 2nd grade.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation Candidates must be in at least 8th grade and be in their second year of consecutive formal religious education. As a reminder of their baptismal commitment, candidates serve their Church, family and community. Candidates study, pray, and reflect during their preparation for this Initiation Sacrament.

This sacrament provides an opportunity for a couple to stand as a sign of God's love in the community. To this end, a period of preparation is important and necessary. Contact the church office at least six months prior to your proposed marriage date to begin this process.
