Sacraments

How exciting…your child will be preparing to grow in their faith and begin preparing for two very special sacraments: Sacrament of First Reconciliation (Confession) and First Eucharist (Holy Communion)!

Remember, faith formation begins at home; YOU are the most important example and role model for your child. If your child sees you go to Confession, they will want to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If your child sees you go to Mass on Sundays, they will want to attend Mass. If your child sees you volunteer for Social Justice outreach, your child will want to be part of making a difference, especially with the poor and marginalized.

Dress Code for Communion:

**No jacket during the mass, but if you would like your son to wear a jacket during the pictures, that’s fine.**

Girls: White Communion Dress (off-white or cream is fine) and white dress shoes. The dress must cover shoulders and may not have a hoop skirt. If your daughter can sit, stand, kneel and enter the pew without difficulty than the dress is acceptable.

**No gloves during the mass, but if you would like your daughter to wear them during the pictures, that’s fine.**

**Veils are optional. Remember, if a veil is worn it must be firmly attached to her hair and should not have a long train for safety reasons.
