Children are eligible to start preparation in grade 2 and often partake in all three sacraments by the end of Grade 3. Children of older ages/grades are welcome to attend. If your child is in Grade 5 (or so) and above, please contact the Sacramental Preparation Team to inquire about preparation programs for older children/teens.

What should my child wear for any of the Sacramental Celebrations?

REQUIRED: truly, the only requirements are:

clothing that is clean, in good repair (no rips, for example) and appropriate for mass (no tummy showing, for example)
shirts must not have writing, pictures or logos on them; a plain t-shirt is fine and does not need to have a collar
footwear they can walk and stand comfortably in

But what about a traditional black suit/white dress .....?

You are welcome to dress your child AS YOU WISH, as long as it follows the above guidelines.
Please do not feel that you need to buy something new/fancy. In our experience, children wear all kinds and outfits ranging from casual to formal and they all experience the true joy of the Sacrament.
Of course your child is welcome to wear a suit, a traditional white dress and/or whatever your family and culture deem appropriate!
Girls are NOT required to wear a dress/skirt.
