May 19, 2024 : First Communion (see First Communion for more information).
We are offering at-home family formation. Families (parents and students) will meet in the Lower Church every 1st Sunday at 10:10. Materials will be distributed at that time.
The remaining weeks in the month, parents will work at home with their children. We will continue to offer the weekly Zoom lessons we have had since 2020 on the at-home weeks, not to replace the at-home materials, but to enhance those at-home classes. The pastor has asked that everyone be prepared to provide evidence of weekly mass attendance.
The purpose of this change is to enhance the entire family's faith life. Please be touch if you have questions or concerns.
Scholarships are available: no child will be turned away due to inability to pay. Please contact the Coordinator for more information.
First Communion requires two years of continuous attendance as well as an interview to determine readiness. All candidates must provide copies of their baptismal certificate.
Confirmation requires two - three years of continuous attendance as well as an interview to determine readiness. All candidates must provide copies of their baptismal certificate. Students should be in 8th grade by the time of Confirmation.
